Tesla FSD Avoids a Deer Without Driver Intervention

A Tesla owner shared a drive where FSD Supervised detected a deer crossing the road, executed a controlled swerve, applied firm braking, and then continued once the lane was clear—all without manual intervention. The moment showcased the system’s ability to react quickly to an unexpected wildlife encounter.

Fast, accurate detection of animals and other sudden hazards can help reduce collision risk in real-world driving.

Deer: ‘Surprise!’ 🦌
FSD: ‘Already saw you.’
Me: ‘I haven’t even finished saying “watch out!” yet.’
