Can we find out who sent the takedown notice?

This is the part that matters. Anyone can DMCA anything

Are we thinking that Elon super fans might do this?

"Almost hitting pedestrians" isn't how I'd describe what I saw in the video.

Not familiar with how the autopilot works, but the guy is touch the wheel a lot, is it the car driving, both, or just manual control?

If it is just the car, it looks like it was trying to turn and didn't consider the people in the crosswalk.

Edit: thanks for the explanation.

Which makes it even more confusing as to why they'd Streisand effect themselves.

From the comments in this thread the Twitter copy was not the original creator of the video. The original creator posted it on YouTube but has since made the video private. And they DMCAd the person that reposted it on Twitter.

I imagine they probably started getting a lot of negative attention.

Ok, I’ll ask. How would you describe it?

Watch again. Those pedestrians were in the crosswalk before the car turns. That's illegal at best, and definitely dangerous for those pedestrians. The car wasn't taking a tight right turn either.
