Owner report 11425393 · 2021-07-19 (July 19, 2021)

Was on steep driveway, put car in park and kept it running. Got out - left drivers side door open. Went to car in front of me to direct it more forward (to turn around), and once car in front of mine moved out of front, my car slammed on gas and sideswiped her car and ran through a fence, almost going off a cliff. My car went into drive once the cameras detected no car in front!
