Agree. Film is legit, but definitely staged. If you follow the cars, you can see them making U turns ahead of the camera, circling back, and reappearing in front once again.

Seeing the same cars over and over on SF streets brings to mind the classic chase scene from "Bullit."

Keep your eye out for the green VW beetle.

Different film technique (editing in the same scene from different cameras to give the illusion of a longer chase) but results in the same car appering over and over.
