It was the end of the ad that drew ire, however. The final shots showed two Defenders parked up against a cliff edge, with a third reversing into place. As the driver backed up to the edge, the parking sensors beeped to indicate to the driver to stop. The Defender comes to rest, parked near the drop to the valley below.
