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.
