It is absolutly not a weird metric. I (and a whole lotta other people) go to youtube to find real people testing and using real life things like keyboards, bikes, even other car brands, and so much more. I dont see how a person wanting to see how a cars self driving works on youtube is any different.

Because you can (and should) test drive a car for yourself before dropping hella' stacks on one. Random people on youtube can be, and often are, biased with their opinion.

You probably can't test drive the self driving feature though because it only works on about 50ft of road in Nevada. Hence why you would look it up on youtube, only to discover that no else was able to use it either for the same reason.
