On July 15, 2022, my 2022 RX450hL drove itself across approximately 150 feet of rugged desert terrain and ended upside down in my neighbor's driveway. No one was in the car and no one was in the driveway where it landed. I had parked the car on the side of my house, after several seconds the car took off across the desert to self-destruct. I contacted Lexus, someone from their legal dept. contacted me and they sent a representative to collect the "black box." After that Lexus refused to take my calls or provide any information to me about the "black box." I had taken possession of the car 34 days when this occurred, it was brand new. This car was equipped with safety features that should have stopped it from driving as it continued over sharp, protruding rocks, went through cactus plants taller than me and over a cliff. The seats have seatbelt sensors, this car knows it is driving with no passengers or a driver. Thankfully my 97 year old, blind and deaf mother-in-law was not in the passenger seat, or my 10 month old grand baby was not in the back seat. This could have been a catastrophe. As it was, a beautiful, new car was totaled and I don't know why.
