Nice to have it confirmed, hat tip to all the skeptics who called it more strongly than I did: Tesla staged 2016 self-driving demo, says senior Autopilot engineer — The claim was made in a lawsuit over Walter Huang's fatal Model X crash in 2018.

"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 said in his testimony, according to Reuters. 3D maps were used to pre-program the route, including where to stop, and during the self-parking demo a Tesla crashed into a fence, Elluswamy said.
