I have seen and avoided thousands of deer and a few moose as well. Sometimes though you just don’t see them in time regardless of how good you are. This was one of those times and I have to say the Tesla did what I or a normal car could not have done. Clearly. 

 

Tesla's avoidance system is only about the front, oncoming stuff, something easily accomplished by attentive drivers, nothing new.

Tesla's system, however, cannot avoid stuff coming from the side or back. Would it be able to see a car coming up behind and can't quite stop in time? An attentive driver checking mirrors while stopped can see something coming up, and can move forward or even out of the way to avoid a collision. 

How about side incoming collision? Would the Tesla system knows to accelerate more and move out of the way? 

No system can beat an attentive driver.
