  It’s not clear cut IMO. It doesn’t say you have to stop because a pedestrian is in the crosswalk, just that cars have to yield the right of way to pedestrians. You could argue no yielding was required because there was no conflict, the car and the pedestrian just proceeded at pace and did not interfere with each other. Also, since we’re being pedantic, the vehicle can’t violate the law because it isn’t a person. The driver would be in violation.

    > You could argue no yielding was required because there was no conflict, the car and the pedestrian just proceeded at pace and did not interfere with each other. Sure, you could argue that. Were it true it'd be fine. But the pedestrian clearly slowed nearly to a stop (and shot the Tesla a disparaging look).

      > But the pedestrian clearly slowed nearly to a stop (and shot the Tesla a disparaging look). Unless we’re looking at different videos I don’t see either of those things happening. They don’t appear to change their pace at all after entering the crosswalk and they don’t seem disturbed in the slightest.
