The article suggests it wasn't the driver's garage. The driver's story seems to be "It was driving itself happily and then went mad and crashed into this random person's garage!".

It's down to the crash investigators to find out whether that's the truth, or the driver crashed it themselves and then just blamed the AP.

    Ya i better understood that just a few moments ago. The angle it went into the house seems pretty suspicious still. Thats a pretty sharp turn vs if it tried to dodge an imaginary deer for example.

    FSD is not capable of dodging a deer - it just brakes.

    If the deer darts in front at the last second it will try to swerve around it, but maybe not too aggressively. Similar to if a car intrudes in your lane. But ya, if its standing in the road in front of you it will just brake.

    Edit: Looks like someone did a video of it a couple days ago of swerving to avoid an inflatable dummy someone throws at it, so this is what I'd expect for a deer that jumps in front of it. Some pretty good speed reactions in there.
