Reddit user says FSD re-engaged and prevented a crash

Unconfirmed: a Reddit user describes that, with FSD active, a squirrel ran in front of his Tesla and the system did not slow down. When he gently touched the brake, believing FSD was still active, the car slowly veered off the road. According to the author, FSD re-engaged just before the vehicle reached the curb. The author admits he made a mistake and attributes the outcome to a new FSD feature, although the text does not identify it by name or version. By his own account, the video is hard to interpret, so the account rests solely on his description.
