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?

Is there video that actually shows it "keeps going"? The way that video loops I know I can't tell what happens immediately after.

The driver's tweet says it kept going, but I didn't find the full video.

Inb4 it actually stopped with hazards like I've seen in other videos. Fuck elon and fuck teslas marketing of self driving but I've seen people reach far for karma hate posts on tesla sooooooo ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

The poster, who pays Tesla CEO Elon Musk for a subscription to the increasingly far-right social media site, claimed that the FSD software “works awesome” and that a deer in the road is an “edge case.” One might argue that edge cases are actually very important parts of any claimed autonomy suite, given how drivers check out when they feel the car is doing the work, but this owner remains “insanely grateful” to Tesla regardless.

Yeah nah. This person is the absolute opposite of a Tesla or Musk hater. They've had this experience and are expressing fucking gratitude to Tesla. Some people really are crazy.

SRSLY?

Have you ever been in a car, going fast?

You can see in the video that the car does NOT brake hard before the crash. Not even in the very last second.

What did YOU think what happens in the next second?

What I think doesn't matter. I'd like to actually see the whole video though. Then I nor you would need to hypothesize about it either.
