Described herein is an autonomous vehicle collision avoidance system designed to detect and deter animals from the road. An automotive ‘deer whistle’ is integrated into an autonomous sensor suite. The sensor suite detects animals using cameras, identifies them and their hearing range using machine learning algorithms, and deters them by emitting animal-specific sound pulses. The system also notifies the driver, may trigger a braking or honking sequence, adjusts subsequent noise emissions based on animal feedback, and collect data on collisions or near collisions for analysis at a central repository. Also described herein is a business model to encourage consumer adoption of the device, wherein the device is distributed to consumers as insurance policy incentive.
