It's hard to tell if the director followed the 180 degree rule because the shots are very short and limited. Each shot is a somewhere new and with new actors. You can tell one place where he broke the 180 degree rule is in the second scene. When he shot the blue car, he shot it from the back end, then the very next shot you see the front end. It's confusing because one second the car is traveling away from you and the next it's coming toward you.
The director did follow the rule of thirds. He always has what he wants you to pay attention to in the right third. Whenever there is a car in the scene it's either traveling from the right third, going to the right third, or sitting in the right third. Sometimes he does break it and puts the characters right in the middle of the shot, but the scenes aren't supposed to be about the characters, you're supposed to be paying attention to the cars.
It's hard to decide whether the 30 degree rule is followed in this commercial because the shots are so short and limited. It seems like there are a few jump cuts in the commercial because there are some spots that it feels awkward, but the commercial and shots are short enough that they wouldn't be noticeable to a regular viewer.
If you pay attention to this commercial, the scenes that have multiple shots in them do seem awkward because they either have jump cuts or the example when the director broke the 180 degree rule. Overall I think the director did not pay attention to these rules when he was shooting a commercial unless there are different rules for car commercials.
