Subject: Re: self driving cars
This leads into Mark Rober testing his Tesla versus a LIDAR-enabled vehicle. Tesla relies solely on cameras. You might be able to guess where this goes. It's a cool video.
It's also a "produced" (mostly fake) video to create content for his sponsors/advertisers! There are so many things:
1) He does NOT use the FSD feature (it is clear in the video that he is using Tesla's version of cruise control and lane keeping, not the FSD feature, they are two entirely different things)
2) He's using their cruise control, BUT it is turned off shortly before hitting the fake wall!
3) The guy with him in the car is wearing a Luminar T-shirt. That's one of the sponsors.
4) The video has been edited. The Youtube video is clearly different than the raw video he posted on X while defending his actions.
5) He even faked the camera used to video it! He used an iPhone Pro model, but photoshopped in a Google Pixel logo [incorrectly] onto the back of the phone. That's because Google Pixel is also a sponsor of his content.
