What is this video supposed to be demonstrating?

  It shows the current head of Autopilot Software, Ashok Elluswamy, and Elon Musk faking Tesla’s self driving demo as admitted to in Ahsok Elluswamy’s deposition on Page 70: https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/23574198-elluswamy-deposition-transcript https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/23574198-elluswamy-d... During filming the car crashed at least once. They fully mapped the route ahead of time and ran the route multiple times until it did not crash or require intervention.

    My question was actually a bit stupid. I wanted to clarify what the parent implied by posting that link, but I guess it was just a citation for the grandparent. Thanks for the interesting info.

  Well right at the start in very big letters: "THE PERSON IN THE DRIVER'S SEAT IS ONLY THERE FOR LEGAL REASONS. HE IS NOT DOING ANYTHING. THE CAR IS DRIVING ITSELF." Additionally, the "driver" also does not have their hands on the wheel as required. I can imagine the dealership showing this to customers and them getting totally the wrong idea. Edit: And I didn't even know what Veserv said below. Wow... That is like 737MAX levels of misleading.

    That is unfair to Boeing. They did not know it was unsafe and deliberately lie, they were just criminally negligent in glossing over the mandatory safety testing. The video is Theranos levels of fraud.
