Is there a longer video anywhere? Looking closely I have to wonder where the hell did that deer come from? There's a car up ahead of the Tesla in the same lane, I presume quickly moved back in once it passed the deer? The deer didn't spook or anything from that car?
This would have been hard for a human driver to avoid hitting, but I know the issue is the right equipment would have been better than human vision, which should be the goal. And it didn't detect the impact either since it didn't stop.
But I just think it's peculiar that that deer just literally popped there without any sign of motion.
Ever hear the phrase "like a deer caught in headlights"? That's what they do. They see oncoming headlights and just freeze.
Sure and living in Wyoming I've seen that happen often enough right in front of me but the more I watch this video the more I want to know how that deer GOT there.
I can see a small shrub in the dark off the (right) side of the road but somehow you can't see the deer enter the lane from either the right or left. The car in front of the Tesla is maybe 40 feet past the deer at the start of the video (watch the reflector posts) but somehow that car had no reaction to the deer standing in the middle of the lane?!
