Description of the problem	On april 24 19 morning [xxx](my wife) drove up multilevel parking lot at work 8100 jones branch drive, she initially chose a head in parking spot, then attempted to move the car forward to the next aisle, so the car would be facing front when she got out. The car picked up uncontrollable and extremely high speed and she felt out of control and could not move foot from accelerator to brake in the split second, all she could do was to steer slightly to hit a pole at that next spot, and avoid going across drive lane and over the barricade to a drop. The car suffered severe front damage and airbags opened, she had minor bruise. Repair estimates caused insurance company to call it a total loss. 1. Tesla claims to be reviewing electronic data but has not released conclusions so far. 2. Why such high speed was picked up when all she wanted to do was crawl over to the next spot directly ahead (about 20 feet) from the previous spot. 3. Why various electronic system, front collision warning, front collision avoidance, video sensors about obstructions, avoidance based acceleration control etc, failed to apply any speed reductions. Photos of event, estimate from insurance are enclosed. I request your kind attention, and your analysis as to the safety failures.
