Will Teslas be able to avoid small animals?

Heading up I 65 for Chicago going about 75 with cars in front, back, and on the side, I encountered a U shaped piece of 1/4" aluminum (alaminium), about 8-10" high or so and maybe 16" wide. Must have been some kind of a cover. I had no choice but to straddle the dang thing to avoid the tires. Took a little nick out of the air dam but I suspect the computer would have run me right over the thing blowing one or more tires, and maybe a brake line. People drivers make split second decisions to make the best of a bad situation. Canā€™t say what the folks in back of me did since it was spinning heading for the ditch. A moving target is even worse to avoid since you have to calculate where it is going and where you are going at the same time. At least it didnā€™t stop in the middle and turn around again, and then stop again and head back over the highway like deer do.
