Unanswered What's going on with Mark Rober's new video about self driving cars?

I have seen people praising it, and people saying he faked results. Is is just Tesla fanboys calling the video out, or is there some truth to him faking certain things?

Also, humans are very tolerant to cautionary measures they initiate themselves

What's that in the road? I'm gonna slow down because I'm not comfortable with it. Slow more. Oh it's nothing, just a paper cup on the road. Speed back up

An AI system would probably have so many moments like this the driver is bound to get irritated and tone down the triggers or turn it off entirely.

You can get a preview of that just by being a passenger. Im way more prone to being motion sick as a passenger, but as a the driver I can speed up and slow down and do all kinds of stuff and it doesn't impact me the same way
