Mark Rober, a popular YouTuber and ex-NASA engineer, faces backlash regarding his video titled Can You Fool a Self-Driving Car? The video compares Tesla’s Autopilot and a LiDAR vehicle in obstacle tests, which some say misleads viewers by not using Tesla’s Full Self-Driving mode. There’s further suspicion as some viewers report Rober deactivated Autopilot at critical moments, skewing results. Questions of financial motives arise, with speculation about undisclosed links to a LiDAR firm, following notable stock shifts after the video’s release.
