Dragon demos done on Demo-1 so far:

* GPS checkouts: check against ground, check against station
* At L+2 hours, demoed Dracos with 2 forward thrusters to simulate abort capability
* Crew command demo to turn on blinking light
* Retreat command demo

One more planned before dock:
* Control ability demo - crew will set speed to mimic docking at 150m away (as FST said)
