Yeah, in order for autonomous vehicles to work, further restrictions on pedestrians movements will have to be imposed. Otherwise people will just figure out that in order to cross the street they just need to step into the road and traffic will come to a halt (having being programmed to drive at appropriate speed and to stop for peds).
The vehicular companies will lobby officials to make it mandatory to only cross and controlled points.
People tend to wait for gaps or take risks. If i knew the car is definitely going to stop I would just step out. Soon means that traffic would be at a halt.
