Check out this video they posted recently of them driving in SF, which isn't much worse than NYC.

Look how it handles the bike going against traffic or how well it sees the pedestrians from far away. It's also quite a bit more assertive I find than in Phoenix.

If it's gonna full stop like that in NYc, gonna backup traffic...

You can slow down but you generally don't stop for pedestrians j walking or bikes going wrong way.

Pedestrians generally know when to speedup/slowdown to cut through moving traffic (not always the case of course there are accidents).

If the person halts in way of traffic than sure do a full stop.
