Jaywalking as an offense exists and you might be responsible in the case where you caused an accident, but to be fully responsible you’d probably have to jump right in front of a car or do something equally reckless. There’s a legal construction called “Allgemeine Betriebsgefahr” which encapsulates the danger of operating a car, leading to the default assumption that the driver is at least partially to blame.
