I think you should put down the kool-aid.
Tesla's Autopilot page [1] still has a video demonstrating it's self-driving capabilities but the video is actually a composite of videos taken over numerous runs because the car hit objects and ran off the road during some of them which does not make for good marketing material. (previous discussion [2]).

- lesuorac 4y agoYou have a weird definition of marketing. That video is purely for consumption by a possible consumer; you can't get any more marketing than that! I think you missed what I said. That isn't some footage that they pulled from some random test drive. They picked a route and drove it over and over until they had enough footage to splice together to appear as a successful run. The primary feed is also not filmed from a dash cam.
- bottlepalm 4y agoThat video you linked is so old it’s the fact that they have very little marketing that they’ve never updated it. But it doesn’t matter because there are tons of the same kind of video on YouTube uploaded everyday. You think this is a big deal, when people are driving places daily with it just fine. I myself only drive like 10% of the time while autopilot does the rest. Gets better every month as well.
