I don't know how much of this video has been digitally enhanced, but I can tell you that at least part of it ain't "for real."

Take a look at the part where the three tires roll up the ramp in succession and tip it like a see-saw. At least two of those tires actually slow down and then accelerate as they move up the ramp, which tells me that they aren't rolling on their own.

Their weighted in the top, so as soon as they are peturbed, they "roll" uphill.

Just to clarify that . . . the tires don't actually tip the ramp -- they just bump each other in succession and get them rolling up the ramp to tip something over the edge.

Either way, I call BS on that one.

Take it from somebody who works in the automotive advertising business,

The entire sequence is computer generated.

Nearly every car commercial you see on TV now is CGI.
