Tesla doesn't waste their time on crap like that. It's why they barely have anyone working in marketing or PR in the first place. The video was made from actual test footage, super quick, and they kicked it out.
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]).
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.
That 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.
You're ignoring the fact that Tesla does "waste their time on crap like that." And the robot isn't real. Watch the video I linked if you are actually honest with yourself.
People said SpaceX was wasting their time trying to land a rocket. High risk, high reward. The potential for advanced robots in vehicle production is a no brainer.
>People said SpaceX was wasting their time trying to land a rocket.
Others did that before. It doesn't appear that you are capable of having a good-faith discussion on this topic given your tendency to change the subject and offering incorrect information. If you did not watch the video there is no point in further conversation.
Thunderfoot is a joke who feeds off haters like you. Half his critism is about products still in development. Totally ignoring how Tesla is pushing producing 2 million cars this year and SpaceX is launching more to orbit than the rest of the world combined.
But yea focus on the stuff in dev as if that negates the rest of the real progress.
Trivializing the significance or landing full size boosting from orbital velocity reliably is laughable. You must be jealous of real accomplishments.
Setting up fake scenarios is basically every TV commercial ever. That doesn't make them conspiracies.
Also it was April 1. It was a joke video, get it?
