OK, its just a deer, but the future is clear. These things are going to start kill people left and right.

How many kids is Elon going to kill before we shut him down? Whats the number of children we're going to allow Elon to murder every year?

People drive drunk, people drive while checking their phone,

And those people are breaking the law.

people panic and freeze

I don't think I've ever seen someone panic so much they just act as if they didn't even hit a deer.

deers often just jump in front of you from out of nowhere.

In this case, the deer was just sitting there, so not applicable.

People hit fucking humans without braking because they’re not paying attention to what the fuck they’re doing!

If it was this much negligence, they'd be facing vehicular manslaughter charges.

But for some reason if it’s a car with assistance well now that’s scandalous!

It's scandalous when a human does it too. We should do better than human anyway, and we can identify a number of deliberate decisions that exacerbate this problem that could be addressed, e.g. mitigation through LIDAR, which Tesla has famously rejected.
