Abstract: An autonomous vehicle (AV) detects an animal in its vicinity, classifies the detected animal, and selects an action to take based on the classification. The action may be selected to deter the animal away from a roadway along which the AV is traveling, or for the AV to avoid a collision or other negative encounter with the animal. The AV determines whether to proceed along the roadway, e.g., if the action has caused the animal to leave the roadway. The animal classification may be used to determine whether or not to drop off or pick up a user at a particular location near an animal.
