Where I live in rural France it's not unusual to have a deer jump out of the vineyards at the side of the road, or for a wild boar (built like a tank but twice as agressive) to saunter across the road and defy you to try your luck. BUT the roads are really narrow with deep drainage ditches on both sides, so swerving is likely to be a very expensive mistake. Since I've been here I have twice managed emergency stops just a few cm from a wild boar, and lost assorted bits off the front of of the car to a jumping deer.
MY guess is that any half-decent AI driving system would have hit the brakes many milliseconds before I did - making no difference to the boars, but maybe saving the life of the deer and hundreds of Euros in car damage.
