Not only are pedestrians more distracted (wearing headphones/earbuds/etc) but DRIVERS are more distracted as well. If it was only one and not the other it wouldn't be as big of a problem but I suspect distracted drivers are more the problem than any cluelessness on the part of pedestrians.

Stand by any intersection (in Chicago at least) and you will see very close to 100% of drivers primarily looking at their phones. Technology truly is the cause of (distraction from smartphones) and solution to (autonomous software drivers) all our problems.
