I wonder what legal ramifications would be if you run them over while they’re on a pedestrian crossing. They probably wouldn’t count as human at least? Destruction of property?

It probably depends on the country you're in.

Not because destruction of property has a harsher punishment, but because in many car dependent countries, such as the United States, killing a person with your car has become so normalized and accepted as inevitable that there's very little investigation of it and punishment for it.

If you want to get away with murder, buy a car.
