>I was not talking about Tesla's general marketing. I haven't seen Musk do anything like you claim. That is certainly misleading and irresponsible if he does do that and implies that any current Tesla can "drive all be itself"
Please take a look at the very start of the video attached here [1]. It says "The person in the driver seat is only there for legal reasons. He is not doing anything. The car is driving itself".
Now, the next one [2], where Elon Musk retweeted a video of a Tesla navigating an unmarked road. There is a reddit discussion about the same here [3]
That first video is not a demonstration of the current autopilot feature. It is a demonstration of a future full self-driving feature. Those two features are purchased separately from Tesla and have their own multi-thousand dollar price tags. I think it is reasonable to expect an owner of the car to know the difference between the two while a general public wouldn't have any clue about the differences. It is also reasonable to expect Tesla to do make the difference clearer. Their responses to this accident are certainly doing that by making it clear that the driver should be attentive.
Both videos also show attentive drivers who are able to jump in at a moments notice. The first video is a promo video and the second is from a Tesla fan. I wouldn't be surprised if they were specifically edited to showcase the car's features. I can certainly understand how someone might view these videos and think that autopilot is flawless, but I don't think Tesla is doing anything unethical in those videos.
