At the beginning of August, a video appeared on the network testing Tesla’s autopilot and similar technology from Lexus. Both companies had dummies impersonating children in front of their cars and learned that the second braked in front of them and the first crashed every time.

This greatly angered fans of the Elon Musk company, who attempted to discredit their favorite manufacturer and advertise a competitor. Some have indicated that they are ready to refute such conclusions with their own experiments on living children. And they did: The corresponding video report was posted on YouTube. However, this video has now become unwanted content on the platform.
