I'm actually kind of looking forward to there being a new selection pressure on a broad population. Especially as this would not be an unfair or targeted out, just... a universal case of, "If you can't handle crosswalks, life is too much for you in general."

Its going to vastly decrease the existing selection pressure of traffic. Robot cars are going to be designed vastly safer then human drivers, because they irrationally scare us more.

It's going to reward people who might otherwise have a very human loss of concentration, and everyone around them. That it might also put pressure on careless pedestrians doesn't bother me too much, in the grand scheme of things.
