UK car insurer Aviva recently published an ad showing a street scene from ( I'd guess) the 30s which includes a remarkably futuristic-looking vehicle for its time.
Closer inspection reveals it is a neat little piece of Photoshopping. The giveaway (maybe deliberate) is that the front indicators have been left coloured in the B&W photo.
The vehicle is in fact a new autonomous shuttle bus designed by French company NAVYA, and Aviva are one of the sponsors of trial operations, their aim being to investigate how to go about insuring such driverless vehicles.

The first post is clear evidence that time travelers do exist. 😉Â
Okay, all kidding aside. The video is one of the reasons why there is becoming a serious lack of trust in this world. Because of crap like this no one knows what and is afraid to believe.
It's no wonder that fact checking has become a career.

@kocour, you're right. But I'm finding out that the fact checkers sometimes need fact checkers!
