Put it in drive and press down on the accelerator pedal. Run them over or leave very quickly. Call 911 and report the incident.

When someone quite literally has the draw on you... Yeah.

If you have room on the road the preferred option might be what @Tom from WNY said, especially if your car is littered with cameras and you can get a front view while hunkering down.

5700 pounds of Tundra will win… the preference is to be aware and not get in that situation in the first place. the 3 stupid rules & all that. in reference to the article- people will do anything for a dollar and there are lots of these types out there waiting to “empower” you out of money. Sigh… a fool and his money…

OK, being a bit harsh here...

Look, if (and that is a big IF) the ad gets people into the studio, and they learn some techniques that will help them 1.) become more aware of their surrounding, 2.) learn ways to take control of the situation, and (most importantly) 3.) the limitations of their abilities.... this is a good thing.

A buddy of mine used to teach karate, or one of the other big Asian martial arts. And, one thing he ALWAYS did was have a brand new student, white belt, attack and take off the black belt that woman just earned.

The point was to clearly demonstrate their limitations. If this instructor is doing that, I say, use whatever advertising that works to get people into the studio. But... given the stupidity of thinking any hand to hand combat technique will help during a carjacking... I am going to say avoid this one.
