Tesla Using 'Full Self-Driving' Hits Deer Without Slowing, Doesn't Stop

How's that computer-vision-only approach working out for you, Tesla?

OK, its just a deer, but the future is clear. These things are going to start kill people left and right.

How many kids is Elon going to kill before we shut him down? Whats the number of children we’re going to allow Elon to murder every year?

    Tesla’s approach to automotive autonomy is a unique one: Rather than using pesky sensors, which cost money, the company has instead decided to rely only on the output from the car’s cameras. Its computers analyze every pixel, crunch through tons of data, and then apparently decide to just plow into deer and keep on trucking.

      I mean, to be honest…if you are about to hit a deer on the road anyway, speed up. Higher chance the scrawny fucker will get yeeted over you after meeting your car, rather than get juuuuust perfectly booped into air to crash through windshield and into your face.

      Official advice I heard many times. Prolly doesn’t apply if you are going slow.

      Edit: Read further down. This advice is effing outdated, disregard. -_- God I am happy I’ve never had to put it i to test.

        Haven’t read down yet, but I bet odds are a bit better if you let go of the brake just before impact, to raise the front up a bit.
