I'm afraid that in New York, this would just lead to total gridlock as a few people would stop traffic by jaywalking, leading to a bigger flow of people following them.

There's a classic science fiction story that I cannot remember now where people do exactly that.

If it becomes a problem, the car can transmit images of the jaywalkers to the police.
