I have had this before as well. Once when a vulture was in the road and once when a baby bunny ran across my path. I hope that the truck would not do it if there was a car following closely. I was taught as a farm boy that if a cute animal or even a dog ran in front of you, unless you were 100% sure it was safe to slam on the brakes you hit the animal and felt bad, but no animal was worth the life of a human.
100%. As a teenager I ran off the road and almost wrecked my car on a rainy night trying to avoid a damn opossum. I was lucky no serious damage to my car but I should have hit it instead.

Since the latest FSD update my truck now slams on brakes for birds flying across my path and squirrels in the road. This has resulted in cars blowing horns at me and objects including passengers being jerked around. Fortunately the passengers are restrained by their seatbelts. Anyone else experiencing the hypersensitive collision avoidance involving small animals? I’ve tried to alert the engineers but the new system only lets you select from a few choices as to why the FSD was turned off and no voice recordings now
You can still send a report by tapping your right scroll wheel, say “report” and then continue speaking about the issue, tap the right scroll wheel again and it sends the report with a notification that it did.
