I wonder how Tesla handles wildlife crossing a highway. That's probably the biggest risk I face in my usual travels. |
There was a shooting yesterday in the casino parking lot on my mail route.
Somebody had hit a small deer crossing in the crosswalk no less. turns out it was only mostly dead. Fish and Game came about 30 mins later and dispatched it with a high powered rifle, in the lot, in the middle of town.
I hope if I get hit in that crosswalk they don't shoot me in the head.
I kind of doubt any of the autopilots will be very good at "seeing" and anticipating how wildlife behaves. A person sees deer on the side of the road and slows down, watching for signs of what they intend. I don't think the autopilot will even think about it unless it is actually currently in the path. Even then if it's on the highway does it recognise the danger and apply maximum braking? What if the deer is running, will the car swerve to avoid or just brake?
