A Tesla Full Self-Driving (FSD) Beta user shared his experience regarding the feature's reliability when driving at night, notably when it avoided a rapidly crossing deer that the technology discerned. The video captured by the owner showed how the FSD Beta fared on low visibility conditions and night driving, despite its current testing status.
One of the most popular electric vehicle manufacturers and clean energy company, Tesla, deliver on their promise of a safe and reliable full self-driving feature that rolled out on selected users in late October this year. The clean energy company's FSD Beta was surrounded by doubts and fears regarding its safety, naturally because of its beta status that is still under testing.
Initially, Elon Musk's announcement of the FSD Beta's release is intended for a closed public release, mainly to selected participants who will test ride the improved autonomous system's functions from Tesla. The new software is aimed to completely take charge of all driving operations, including steering, braking, accelerating, and going to the GPS destination.
Tesla FSD Beta: YouTuber Show Tech to Avoid Killing Deer in Low Visibility Road
According to Electrek, a YouTuber called "Dirty Tesla" filmed using the full self-driving feature from Tesla in an area where deers often spring up and cross roads. Tesla's FSD Beta is in charge of driving the vehicle and reading the situations to perform its autonomous functions successfully.
The YouTuber demonstrates how to electric vehicle successfully responded to a deer's appearance and classifies the animal as a "pedestrian" positioned at the left side. Dirty Tesla also notes that the FSD Beta applied the brake itself as it nears the animal, especially as it immediately crossed the road.
Dirty Tesla also showed how the electric car demonstrated its maneuver to avoid the deer that immediately changed its steering on the opposite side. The rapid adaptability of the FSD's function still avoided the deer that ran to the opposite side of the road.
Tesla FSD Beta: Limited Public Release and Country's Regulations
The video showed that the road is poorly lit and has low visibility for drivers who pass by. The FSD Beta made a significant contribution to avoiding the deer and keeping its driver safe from an apparent accident. Human commanded driving would have a massive possibility in hitting the deer because of its split-second cross in that specific condition.

Despite the safety feature it demonstrated, the country is still reluctant to approve the Autopilot and FSD as fully autonomous, meaning that people are yet required to keep their attention to the road and car at all times. The law still requires people to hold the steering wheel and stay alert in case of emergencies.
Also, Tesla remains on a limited public release for the FSD, with the current system still not ready for its final version. The company is still testing its capabilities and waiting for user reviews to tweak the feature to its perfect version.
