Unconfirmed: FSD braked for a deer at highway exit, per user report
Unconfirmed: A user of a 2018 100D running v14 lite reports in a forum post that, after installing the update, they drove on city streets and highways. Around 11 PM, while taking a 180° curve to leave the highway toward the local airport, the vehicle braked and performed an evasive maneuver before the driver saw a deer on the road. According to the author, FSD detected the animal first. He believes he could have stopped in time on his own. The account includes no video, vehicle logs, or Tesla confirmation, and the text is cut off.
- User reports braking and an evasive maneuver before seeing a deer.
- Account: 2018 100D on v14 lite, with no video or logs published.
🔎 Why it matters: There is no official confirmation from Tesla. This is a single user account of braking and an evasive maneuver on a 180° curve leaving the highway with v14 lite, with no telemetry to support it.
📈 Upside: According to the author, the system detected the deer before the driver did and applied the brakes.
📉 Risk: Emergency braking on a tight highway exit curve can surprise vehicles following behind.
