The system is supposed to improve over time by using real-world driving data, gradually getting better at recognizing and responding to everything from traffic lights to pedestrians. But based on a new video, it still struggles with, well, birds.<\/p>\n<div class=\"ad-placement\">\n<div id=\"82503191-e1d1-435a-874f-9c78a2a54a2f\" class=\"_ap_apex_ad\"><\/div>\n<div id=\"0f7e3106-c4d6-4db4-8135-c508879a76f8\" class=\"_ap_apex_ad\"><\/div>\n<p>\t\t\t\tvar adpushup = window.adpushup  = window.adpushup || {que:[]};<br \/>\n\t\t\t\tadpushup.que.push(function() {<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\tif (adpushup.config.platform !== &#8220;DESKTOP&#8221;){<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\tadpushup.triggerAd(&#8220;0f7e3106-c4d6-4db4-8135-c508879a76f8&#8221;);<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t} else {<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\tadpushup.triggerAd(&#8220;82503191-e1d1-435a-874f-9c78a2a54a2f&#8221;);<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t}<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t});<\/p><\/div>\n<p>According to the original poster over at the<a href=\"http:\/\/cybertruckownersclub.com\"> Cybertruckownersclub<\/a> forums, the incident happened as he was doing around 45 mph with traffic behind him. The footage shows a chicken literally trying to cross the road (yes, really). The bird takes off, but appears to miscalculate the truck&rsquo;s speed. It&rsquo;s tough to say with complete certainty, but it appears as though the bird didn&rsquo;t make it.<\/p>\n<p><strong>More: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carscoops.com\/2025\/06\/musks-feud-with-trump-may-have-just-scored-cybertruck-buyers-a-deal\/\">Musk&rsquo;s Feud With Trump May Have Just Scored Cybertruck Buyers A Deal<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>All of you animal lovers get a tiny hint of hope here, too. The driver says, &ldquo;Could not feel the impact. I don&rsquo;t recall even hearing a thud!&rdquo; So maybe, just maybe, this foul managed to avoid an untimely fate. It almost certainly hit the windshield at the very least. What&rsquo;s curious, though, is that FSD evidently didn&rsquo;t even notice the impact. This brings up a good question. Shouldn&rsquo;t the vehicle register an event like this?<\/p>\n<div id=\"taboola-mid-article\"><\/div>\n<div id=\"taboola-mid-article-thumbnails-organic\"><\/div>\n<p><video controls width=\"896\" height=\"auto\" style=\"background-color: #000\"><\/video><\/p>\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Cybertruckownersclub<\/h4>\n<p>Turns out, small animals might be a blind spot for FSD. Another person responded in the thread about a recent encounter with an Owl. &ldquo;A few weeks ago I was FSDing on a rural road at 45 MPH and had to slam on the brakes for a cute owl feasting on a rodent in the middle of the road,&rdquo; they say. Sure enough, they backed it up with video. They&rsquo;re not alone either, others report similar findings where the vehicle just didn&rsquo;t react.<\/p>\n<p><video controls width=\"896\" height=\"auto\" style=\"background-color: #000\"><\/video><\/p>\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Cybertruckownersclub<\/h4>\n<p>Still, it&rsquo;s not all bad news. One user shared a video showing their <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carscoops.com\/tag\/tesla-cybertruck\/\">Cybertruck<\/a> successfully stopping for a Canadian Goose standing in the middle of the lane. Interestingly, the goose looked a lot like typical road damage, blending into the pavement just enough to confuse a less attentive system. Yet in this case, FSD recognized the obstacle and slowed the truck down. <\/p>\n<p>That&rsquo;s encouraging, especially compared to other moments where the system didn&rsquo;t react at all. Situations like this continue to highlight where lidar or radar might still offer real advantages. Until then, birds may want to reconsider their flight paths, or at the very least, remember to look both ways.<\/p>\n<div class=\"ad-placement\">\n<div id=\"9b1169d9-7a89-4971-a77f-1397f7588751\" class=\"_ap_apex_ad\"> <\/div>\n<div id=\"bb7964e9-07de-4b06-a83e-ead35079d53c\" class=\"_ap_apex_ad\"> <\/div>\n<p>\t\t\t\tvar adpushup = window.adpushup  = window.adpushup || {que:[]};<br \/>\n\t\t\t\tadpushup.que.push(function() {<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\tif (adpushup.config.platform !== &#8220;DESKTOP&#8221;){<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\tadpushup.triggerAd(&#8220;bb7964e9-07de-4b06-a83e-ead35079d53c&#8221;);<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t} else {<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\tadpushup.triggerAd(&#8220;9b1169d9-7a89-4971-a77f-1397f7588751&#8221;);<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t}<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t});<\/p><\/div>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Lead image Cybertruckownersclub<\/h4>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A Tesla with FSD engaged hit a chicken but the truck never acknowledged the impact.
