Presenting a subset of the information to let the uninformed jump to favorable conclusions for the presenter is not a new marketing strategy. If there's no indication about the true level of progress, what is the purpose of the demo?

Being able to get from point A to point B without human intervention is what people expect when they hear "self-driving car", and the video does little (if anything) to temper that expectation (perhaps because it truly is ready for L4 deployment, or perhaps because it's all smoke and mirrors).
