Engineer Testifies That , Tesla Self-Driving , Promotional Video Was Staged.
NBC reports that a 2016 Tesla video used to promote
its self-driving technology was allegedly staged to
demonstrate capabilities that the system did not have. .
According to the testimony of a senior engineer,
the video was released in October 2016 and
promoted as evidence that the technology works.
Ashok Elluswamy, director of Autopilot software at
Tesla, says that the Model X used in the video was
not driving itself with deployed Tesla technology. .
Elluswamy's July deposition was taken as evidence
in part of a lawsuit against Tesla for a fatal
2018 crash involving a former Apple engineer.

NBC reports that the video
in question is still archived
on Tesla's website.
The video's tagline claims that , âThe person in the driverâs seat
is only there for legal reasons. He is not
doing anything. The car is driving itself.â.
However, according to Elluswamy,
the video was created by using
3D mapping on a predetermined route. .
Elluswamy's testimony also reportedly
details how drivers intervened to take
control of cars used in the test runs. .
According to Elluswamy's testimony, when trying to
demonstrate the Model X's ability to park itself without a
driver, the car crashed into a fence in the Tesla parking lot.
The company's website also states that Tesla technology is
designed to assist with driving and emphasizes that the features , âdo not make the vehicle autonomous.â

Report Finds Big Tech, Transparency Reports , Fall Short.
'Fast Company' reports that Big Tech regularly
releases data meant to offer transparency into
how the world's largest platforms are being run.
This data often shares actions companies take
against inappropriate content and when they help
law enforcement at the request of governments. .
A new analysis by academics at the University of Zurich
and the University of Bern found that few tech companies
follow principles they have previously espoused.
Itâs good to be well-informed about
what is happening. And right now,
itâs impossible in many aspects,
which I guess might lead to over-
and under-regulation of the platforms, Aleksandra Urman, University of Zurich, via 'Fast Company'.
I think itâs not entirely obvious
what Apple would be taking down.
But actually, Apple does moderate
its App Store, for example.
We just donât know how, Aleksandra Urman, University of Zurich, via 'Fast Company'.
Similarly, the report found that Amazon moderates
what books are sold on its site, however the process
of deeming books inappropriate remains unknown.
The report also found that companies like Microsoft, LinkedIn and Twitch adhered to some of
the transparency guidelines but not all.

Liam McLoughlin at the University of Liverpool suggests
that the findings of the report reinforces the idea that
transparency reports are closely related to public relations.

Some might call me cynical
on this,but when we think of
transparency reports as primarily
a public relations mechanism,
it all makes sense, Liam McLoughlin, at the University of Liverpool, via 'Fast Company'
