The autonomous driving video shared by Musk claimed to be fake
Elon Musk has been talked about all over social media these days and now the reason is not a pleasant one.
Elon Musk came to the fore again with a video he shared in 2016. According to the company employee, a video shared at that time actually had unrealistic elements.According to the statement of a senior engineer, Tesla's video promoting the company's autonomous driving technology in 2016 was a fiction shot to show features that its systems do not have.

The text before the 4-minute video begins states, "The person in the driver's seat is only there for legal reasons. He does nothing. The vehicle drives itself." Elon Musk, the boss of the electric vehicle manufacturer, shared the video on Twitter with the words "Tesla is self-driving (no human intervention)". “When searching for a parking space, the vehicle skips the handicap as it reads the signs to see if it is allowed to park there,” Musk added.
On the other hand, Ashok Elluswamy, Autopilot Software Director of the company, as quoted by Reuters, says in a statement that the video is partially fictional.
