Part of the issue is that FSD needs to be trained for everything you expect it to recognize. Right now, it's unlikely that FSD knows the difference between a chicken and an empty plastic bag blowing across the road. Once you throw it training data for a menagerie of animals, then you need to determine how it's going to react. Maybe you decide to swerve for a person even if you risk losing control, but do you swerve for an animal? Normal thought is you brake for an animal if you can, but it's usually better to hit it than to swerve.

The more objects you define, the more complex the identification becomes, how confident is FSD that it recognizes any given portion of the image as an object. It's the reason you sometimes see phantom people and semis when you pull into your garage, FSD starts seeing people and vehicles in the various objects in frame.

2 wks ago, a wild turkey crossed in front of my Model 3 on FSDv12.6.4. I was going about 45mph, and no, it didn't slow.
I wouldn't have slowed down for a turkey that crossed the road before I got there either.

S,3,Y,CT,CT(holding pattern) Slate is back on
Had my CT make evasive maneuvers for:

Turkey
Family of geese
Coyote
Fox
Many a deer
Racoon
Opossum
squirrels have to be like really big. Even then it is 50/50.

Still waiting on:
Moose
Bear
Bobcat
Lynx

The NN is pretty good about things that don't belong vs things to worry about. I saw the plastic bag reference. It won't bother with those. It is good with ladders, tire shreds, and now cars stopped on side of road.

Will it be perfect? No. Yet some in the moment make some really crappy decisions when it comes to animals. Some of those decisions kill others and sometimes them.

Jeez, where do you live? Sounds pretty biodiverse. ?
Just saw it says Montana on your profile. Cool!
I need to visit Montana more.

I really wish FSD could identify an object in the road or better yet a pot hole. I drive don a road going to work at 60 mph and always hit the pot hole or disengage FSD to avoid it.

Raccoon spared- FSD in CT at 50MPH at Mammoth Cave Nat Park. The glitch in the video is straight from CT.

Also- I used to think FSD was magic- it’s not. This truck came inches from back left- while my CT drove on like it was daring for a fight.
