Do you believe everything verbatim that companies tell you in advertising?
If they show a car driving I believe it's capable of self-propulsion and not just rolling downhill.
A marketing trick that has, in fact, been tried: https://arstechnica.com/cars/2020/09/nikola-admits-prototype...
Used to be "marketing tricks" were prosecuted as fraud.
If I recall correctly, that led to literal criminal fraud charges.
And iirc Tesla is also being investigated for fraudulent claims for faking the safety of their self driving cars.
Hmm, might I interest you in a video of an electric semi-truck?
When a company invents tech that can do this, how would their ad be different?
No, but most people tend to make a mental note of which companies tend to deliver and which ones work hard to mislead them.
You do understand the concept of reputation, right?
this was plausible
