Info from Licensor: " I was driving my Tesla Model 3 in autopilot between Gisborne and Bacchus Marsh at 100 kph. Due to the lighting, I could not see the ducks crossing. Autopilot picked them up and sounded the alarm, and started to swerve/brake, then disengaged. The ducks survived. If it wasn't for the Autopilot function, I think the ducks would not have survived."
