Amazingly skilful driving.  The barge effort proves he's 100% confident he can put the car where he wants it.
There's plenty of tyre marks showing he'd had some practice runs, as you would.
It would be interesting to know how you go about blocking off all those streets, including the iconic Golden Gate bridge, in daylight.  And what it would cost.
Would also like to know how many cameras there were, including the one in the wheel well!
Interesting to see the "hood": (as they call it) flex on the landings.
That's one set of Pirellis for that vid, I'd reckon.

Apparently the bridge was closed for renovation/maintenance and so hardly anyone was in the city so they took advantage of the situation.
