What video did you watch? Because the one I was watching he didn't pretend to be actually driving, in fact it took him a minute, but he figured out he wasn't actually playing.
Who knows what he was thinking, or what the plan was? I sure as heck don't think so little of people that I turn this into an attempt to deceive everyone, if it was Intel is filled with idiots and the internet is full of the smartest people ever. And lucky for us we have them, otherwise I wouldn't have even been able to figure out this clever ploy by Intel requiring mastermind detectives to figure out!
