Level 4/5 automation MAY have the net effect you suggest. Current self-driving efforts don't seem to be taking pedestrians into account very well at all, so that remains to be seen.

Who really knows what current self-driving efforts seem to be doing? All we know is what data the companies choose to release.

From a naive perspective, pedestrian avoidance seems like one of the easiest problems to solve.
