A picture of a deer on my head up display!!

Like the title says, I was driving home from a friends house last week just after getting the X5M coded and a picture of a deer came on my HUD while I had Night Vision on. I said to myself "come on he messed up the coding" and then I looked over to my right and there was a big deer right there. It appeared on the HUD in red. Very very cool.

That is awesome! I've been really impressed with the tech in this car.

I've gotten a few false positive with this, where it shows a deer but there's a person...or it shows a deer and I can't see anything (not that this is proof there was no deer!)

If only these cars had stop and go cruise control!

if i understand correctly the system judges by heat and the shape of the object the heat is emanating from. i can't imagine there being a symbol for every possible animal so you may get a human or deer but either way any alert is better than nothing if it prevents an incident.

It shows the deer even on dogs, horses, donkeys, etc

exactly my point. i believe it's just a general symbol for animal crossing or animal alert.
