I bike in NYC and occasionally deal with people stepping into the street while looking at their phones and not checking for cross traffic because they can't hear me. It's annoying, but doesn't take much to just brake and dodge them. I wish they would've looked, but the streets are for the people in the city. It's not a freeway.

I do fear there will be an uptick in problems with EVs, though, that don't have pedestrian warning sounds added and people not looking because they hear nothing and expect to hear an engine (experienced this a little bit in parking lots during my time driving a Leaf). But we'll see what happens I guess.
