There is a question, NYC driving gets by with everyone driving aggressive and breaking road rules. That is something that does not exist as much in other markets.

My complaint with Tesla city FSD is that it’s not quick or aggressive enough. It will come to long and complete stops and other things that will not work well in NYC.

I think you'd be surprised how aggressive driving has become normalized throughout the world?

I drive when I travel, though not in NYC these days but being a pedestrian gives you a good enough view. LA from a city driving perspective at least for me is not comparable to most of NYC.

The world, for sure. But not in America. I've driven in most major US cities and I drive daily in NYC. There really is no comparison in any other major US city to how we drive in NYC.
