In most cases a deer running will only be visible for one or two seconds before the collision. If you see the deer's eyes, it will probably be after it smashes through the windshield.

I'm just relating my own experience. Perhaps the deer in Oregon and Kentucky are stealthier.

At night the reflective eyeballs show up nicely down the road.

Again day or night, you will only see the deer's eyes after it crashes through your windshield.

Again, I have seen that refection and avoided contact with the deer. The question here is if the automated system in the car has the same capability.

The car could see in Infra Red if that is included in the sensor array. It's just a "Small Matter Of Programming."

Of course they best solution to the deer problem is to get them to use the designated crossing points.

I agree with it being a matter of programming, the question is if an instantaneous flicker is recognized and an appropriate reaction part of the algorithm.

Your GPS/phone does the same thing right now.
Unless "sketchy neighborhoods" becomes an attribute on mapping software it's not going make a special trip to go around it.
Unless you live in Raqqa or something it's not necessary anyway.
