I would guess that virtually all, if not all, of the people seen in that film are dead. But I would guess that some of the vehicles are still in existence. We as humans have a finite lifespan but machinery can exist forever.
Secondly, where are the stop lights? This went on for block after block with no stops.

1939)^ - View showing the Beverly Wilshire Hotel at 9500 Wilshire Boulevard as seen from the northwest corner of Wilshire and Rodeo Drive. Sign at lower right reads: “Boulevard Stop”.
In the video, I don’t think they cross Santa Monica Blvd (to the west) or LaCienaga Blvd (to the west). Those would be the biggest crossing intersections. Especially then.
Nowadays the city of Beverly Hills naturally controls all the stop light signal sequencing. The signals definitely favor THEIR residents that cross Wilshire as opposed to the majority of traffic along Wilshire.
