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.

Just the car. The guy can override by taking hold of the wheel and overriding what the car wants.

This is the part that matters. Anyone can DMCA anything

Are we thinking that Elon super fans might do this?

Edit:

I was being dumb and am wrong. This is YouTube's internal system for copyrights not DCMA.

Apologies.

You can read up on how to submit DCMA takedowns for YouTube here -> https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/2807622?hl=en

The original uploader of the video submitted the DCMA takedown request.

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

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.

Haha how is that illegal? The driver took over way before the car entered the crosswalk section.

iirc the car does all the driving but you have to have a hand "on the wheel" so they don't technically have to legally classify it as a self driving car or something.

I'm guessing if he is videoing it and hovering over the wheel that much this has happened before and he is nervously expecting it?

This isn't the standard autopilot but the "full self driving" option that is currently in a limited beta (around 1000 users that have gone through extra approval, not just 100% random owners)

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

"Car slightly spooks a couple of people including the driver who safely took over and resumed driving"

"Entered the crosswalk section" is a rather euphemistic way of describing "drove directly through where the people were going to be"

You are required, by law, to stop for pedestrians in crosswalks. Every intersection in Washington state is a crosswalk, marked or not.
