Why does it need to recognize specific types of animals? It seems like bad programming practice to code (or learn) for each specific case. Is there not a way to program cars to avoid animals more broadly, or simply objects that are moving towards the road?

I don't think I personally would deal well with a kangaroo appearing near my car due to my lack of specific experience. They move crazy differently from a dog or deer.

Because movement patterns of Kangaroos are too different from other animals?

I believe these systems are based on neural nets, they are trained, not programmed, to recognize animals.
