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.

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.

NBC reports that the video
in question is still archived
on Tesla's website.
The video's tagline claims that , “The person in the driver’s seat
is only there for legal reasons.
He is not
doing anything.
The car is driving itself.”.
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 , “do not make the vehicle autonomous.”
In a fiery press briefing, Karoline Leavitt, press secretary, condemned the rising violence against Tesla and its CEO, Elon Musk, blaming Democrats for their silence on the issue. Amid growing attacks on Tesla dealerships, vandalism of vehicles, and violent threats to Musk’s family, Leavitt slammed the left for ignoring the violence.

In a shocking move, Moldovan authorities have blocked Bishop Marchel of the Moldovan Orthodox Church from traveling to Jerusalem for the sacred Holy Fire ceremony, a pivotal moment for Orthodox Christians. Despite having all legal documents in order, Bishop Marchel and his fellow clerics were detained, searched multiple times, and stripped of their passports, missing the flight to Jerusalem. The move has sparked international outrage, with critics calling it politically motivated and a direct attack on religious freedom. The Russian Orthodox Church and lawmakers have condemned Moldova’s actions, while human rights organizations demand accountability. This unprecedented interference raises serious questions about the state of religious rights in Moldova.
