Did the car salesman showed you video of that FSD demonstration, while they were describing driving assist features of a car you were buying?

No, but they used to run this ad: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UTdR91G2L7c

Several interesting things are here: 1. Construction zones -- ProPilot should not be used there. It isn't realiable when lines are incorrect. 2. The wheel is moved automatically to a large degree. In the video it appears to be a larger movement than the system actually supports. 3. This commercial implies that it is actually a solution for inexperienced drivers, but it definitely is not.
