If it's made to be misleading and baiting, yes I FUCKING should. And so should you and everybody else.
How is it misleading?
The title asks "can you fool a self driving car" and the thumbnail illustrates a cartoon situation that immediately explains how they will attempt to do so in the video.
The video then goes on to not only answer the question, but explore the technology involved in-depth.
It MORE than delivers on the "clickbait".
Thumbnails can't be subtle, they typically get viewed at a tiny size compared to the full video and that's why large high-contrast features work better than a random screencap from the video.
You can't be serious? The clickbait image is not something that might actually possibly happen. The image in the video is.
That is a distinction without a difference.
They are both images depicting a drivable path, on a flat surface.
