Tesla Crashes Into Oncoming Car, Saves the Life of a Pedestrian

A Tesla might have just saved the life of a pedestrian. Footage captured by a dash cam shows the car suddenly veering to avoid the man who fell onto the roadway and crashing into an oncoming vehicle. It is, though, unclear if the driver had a super quick reaction or if it was the FSD that saved the life of the pedestrian.

Emphasis mine. The collision was in a 30kph zone, it was unclear if the vehicles involved were traveling that.

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

Photos and video posted to Twitter by @TheSeekerOf42 show the before and after of a deer strike, during which the poster claimed he was using Tesla’s “Full Self-Driving” software. Video shows the car approaching a deer in the road without slowing, and a photo of the front of the car shows the resulting damage: A cracked bumper, and a hood that’s both dented and “shifted almost an inch toward the windshield.”

Which... pretty sure most modern cars have automatic braking with forward-looking radar, so you'd at least get the beeping alert and a hard brake event.

We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine, if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
