I thought that was very funny as well !
But since I have no experience with a Prius, can anyone tell me if the shifter actually does anything, or is it similar to the fly by wire throttle? Does the shifter just send a signal to the computer? If so, can the computer get the same "confusion" over the gear selection as it can from the throttle position? In which case it would not respond to any signal telling it to switch into neutral .......
Still a hilarious video. Keeping the mask to avoid Toyota lawyers perhaps? Maybe works at a dealership?
When you have driven a couple of winters on snow in an automatic transmission car, you learn real quick to put it into neutral when sliding.
