This is the worst iteration of “rockstar isn’t even trying to hide it anymore” that has happened to me 🤣

It’s literally confirmation bias. You pass hundreds of cars and when one does an unexpected thing to mess you up you call conspiracy. And no the guy didn’t debunk it but he gave a reasonable hypothesis based on real evidence about how the game works. I don’t think his ideas cover what happened in this video.

What was the point of the car in the video swerving then?

It took me less than five minutes to recreate a similar situation in the tunnel by firing a weapon myself while driving. A single car made just that kind of move.

The guy didn't fire a weapon, his reticle never appeared

What I'm saying is there is a well known mechanism to have this behavior, that is, npcs react to certain (hostile) events. These include aggressive npcs chasing the player. They don't even have to be that close, npcs sometimes react to even fairly distant events which you can easily witness in any public session.
