Which the Tesla didn't do. It plowed full speed into the deer, which arguably made the collision much much worse than it could have been. I doubt the thing was programmed to maintain speed into a deer. The more likely alternative is that the FSD couldn't tell there was a deer there in the first place.
Braking dips the hood making it easier for the deer to go into the windshield. You should actually speed up right before hitting to make your hood go up and make it hopefully go under or better stay in the grill.
aight what's your strategy for hitting a giraffe, then?
I don't know, where I live giraffes are only in the zoo and thus never on the road. I'm not aware of any escaping the zoo.
I'm sure if I lived around wild deere, my training would include that, but since I don't I was able to save some time by not learning that.
What if you're driving through a zoo though?
I've never been in a zoo I'm allowed to drive more thln e wheelchair through. They may require extra training - I would not know
