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

"Car doesn't yield to pedestrians". For "almost hit" I would expect car to run by pedestrian in less than half a meter or for pedestrian having to react quickly to avoid car.

It makes more sense when you realize the car wasn't even supposed to be turning. Look at the nav screen. If this guy didn't take over, where exactly was the car going? I think it's very easy to speculate it wouldn't have ended well.

Almost hitting pedestrian is a big stretch. Car had enough time to stop before he took hold. He probably just picked up the wheel because he didn't want the car going that way.

It's barely a stretch. The car veers pretty significantly. The driver and the pedestrian both notice this and wave as a 'sorry'. The car may have stopped, of course we won't ever know, but it's absolutely wrong to say that it was just the wrong direction - again, both the driver and pedestrian acknowledge the aggressive turn.

Is the car turning right (after a no right turn sign) while it was supposed to be going straight according to nav?

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

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

I doubt DMCA came from Tesla, they let worse videos take thousands of views on youtube and never done anything.

for those unaware (like me), "FSD" is the extremely misleading term Tesla uses to describe their cars as "Full Self Driving".

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

I sincerely hope you are not in the possession of a drivers license.

How is this comment helpful?

Yes, and that's what makes it interesting in my mind. Where was the car going?

RCW 46.61.245 RCW 46.61.235 You are required, by law, to stop for pedestrians in crosswalks. Every intersection in Washington state is a crosswalk, marked or not.

In this particular case they had the walk sign too.

I run a lot on streets. You do you, but this video is going to make me much more careful around Tesla cars from now on.

Can anybody update on who Tesla fans perceive as their mortal enemy right now? First it was big oil, then it was shortsellers, but I found those narratives sort of died out. Who are they beefing with right now?

Pedestrians.
