@5:30 fake demo video like Nikola

• TheAlchemist 1y ago
  Yep, it's quite incredible that they released this faked video, quite a lot of people died in various accidents involving Autopilot / FSD where they clearly felt for the marketing, then Tesla guy who made it admitted it was faked and even crashed at some point while filming, and now instead of being in jail, he is ... the head of Tesla Autopilot program.

  1) Nikola didn't kill anyone 2) Tesla's fraud eclipses Nikola's few billion amateur hour.

    To be fair, it was “staged”, not completely fake; but yes, the false advertising killed many

      That's really stretching the definition of 'staged', tbh. > Just want to be absolutely clear that everyone’s top priority is achieving an amazing Autopilot demo drive. Since this is a demo, it is fine to hardcode some of it, since we will backfill with production code later in an OTA update. I will be telling the world that this is what the car will be able to do, not that it can do this upon receipt You could maybe call it staged if they were, say, very selective about the conditions and course, but within those constraints it was actually doing what they said it did. That doesn't seem to have been the case.
