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?

    How does that compare to the number of deer/miles traveled of “regular” cars? That’s the important part.

    If you live in deer country you know how often you see dead ones on the side of the road, it’s just scandalous because it was a car on autopilot, but if it’s still safer per miles traveled than having humans behind the wheel then it’s still a win.

      If it had braked and just couldn’t stop it would be comparable to a person. Continuing at full speed into a solid object on the road is the same as the worst human driver.

      If it wasn’t limited to only cameras because Musk is an arrogant jackass then the lidar/rader/other non-camera sensor would have sensed the deer being an object even if the camera didn’t recognize it.
