According to a user, FSD spotted a deer and braked before the driver

📍 Reddit TeslaLounge

Unconfirmed: A Reddit user describes an encounter with a deer on the road. According to their account, FSD detected the animal as soon as it stepped onto the road, and the car began slowing down before the driver could identify it. The driver explains that the reflection of the deer's eyes matched the bridge reflectors, so they could not see it even though they knew the car had detected something. The deer crossed slowly without noticing the vehicle. According to the post, the braking startled the deer and the tires lost traction for a moment.…

🔎 Why it matters: There is no official confirmation from Tesla. The account credits FSD with detecting a deer early and braking before the driver saw it, without specifying the software version.
📈 Upside: According to the user, FSD detected the deer and reduced speed before the driver identified it.
📉 Risk: According to the account, the sudden braking caused the tires to lose traction momentarily.
