The article says
> A 2016 video that Tesla (TSLA.O) used to promote its self-driving technology was staged to show capabilities like stopping at a red light and accelerating at a green light that the system did not have, according to testimony by a senior engineer.
Completely faking capabilities would be much worse than using multiple tries, though I can't find a transcript of the full deposition and so I'm not sure the deposition backs up that claim.
Weren't they saying they weren't going to use HD mapping at that point, that their cars just pick up the lay of the land and deal with anything, making their approach way more scalable than competitors?
But the product demo was instead mapped?
