That's the thing isn't it.

If "person walks in front of car" event is rare, then the automatic car stop saving a life or minimising injury is nice. Saved a person from a bad day for a minor inconvenience for the car people.

If a NY city worth of people do it without regard, then cars will be gridlocked.

My guess is:

- Assuming self driving cars that that stop for pedestrians are common

- then laws against deliberately walking in front will exist

- to judge the dispute of "deliberate" there will be more cameras, because why wouldn't there be...
