If the title of the article was instead, "Tesla video promoting self-driving was scripted, engineer testifies," this article is probably mostly ignored. Take a loaded term like "scripted," which some interpret as "faked," and here we are. Of course the video was staged, the engineers were asked to make a video showing it's capabilities. The only part worth arguing over is if someone could interpret Elon's tweet as meaning I could jump in a Tesla and have it do all of those things without me needing to do anything.

Or Tesla's video that says "the driver is only in the seat for legal reasons - the car is driving itself"?
