Tesla runs ads saying that their cars drive itself and they don't need a driver.

Can you provide an example? I genuinely haven’t seen that but I live a relatively advertisement-free lifestyle. As a Tesla owner, I’ve never heard that from anyone in real life either.

Here is an alternative Piped link(s): https://piped.video/shorts/FfJ_Hw0kJl4

Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.

I'm open-source, check me out at GitHub.

Ok, counter point is this: https://electrek.co/2023/01/17/real-story-behind-tesla-staged-self-driving-video/

“The engineer added: “The intent of the video was not to accurately portray what was available for customers in 2016. It was to portray what was possible to build into the system.” Elluswamy also confirmed that the Autopilot team put the video together as a “demonstration of the system’s capabilities” at the request of Musk.”

I do remember that video and did not take it as an advertisement of what the product would do in 2016.

The first seconds of the video literally says "our cars don't need a driver".
