Same in Kansas. Was in a car that hit one in the 80s and see them often enough that I had to avoid one that was crossing a busy interstste highway last week.
Deer are the opposite of an edge case in the majority of the US.
Putting these valid points aside we're also all just taking for granted that the software would have properly identified a human under the same circumstances..... This could very easily have been a much more chilling outcome
I'm not taking that for granted. If it can't tell a solid object os in the road, I would guess that would be true for a human that is balled up or facing away as well.
Same, hit one just south of Lyndon at night.
It's no different in Southern Ontario where I live. Saw a semi truck plow into one, it really wasn't pretty. Another left a huge dent on my mom's car when she hit one driving at night.
