Tesla's Full Self-Driving software fails to stop as vehicle hits deer on highway
A Tesla using Full Self-Driving (FSD) software hit a deer on a highway without slowing down, raising safety concerns. Dashcam footage shows the vehicle did not respond to the deer, despite frequent false stops for non-existent obstacles. The incident highlights limitations in Tesla's FSD, which relies solely on cameras for obstacle detection. Critics argue that this approach may hinder the system's ability to identify real threats, unlike competitors that use additional sensors like LiDAR. This collision adds to scrutiny of Tesla's FSD technology, which has faced criticism after previous incidents, including a fatal crash involving a pedestrian. The ongoing debate centers on the effectiveness of Tesla's camera-only strategy in autonomous driving.
