“What’s the chance that they’ll stop leasing cars in New York State?”

I think they (and almost everybody else) already have. The incident in question happened in 2003.

The article is skimpy on details. There may be facts which indicate that the driver of the vehicle was in the employ of the car owner.

At least one New York trial court has declared the law unconstitutional (though in my opinion, the court’s analysis is dead wrong and likely to be reversed on appeal): Graham v. Dunkley, 2006 NY Slip Op 26358, 2006 N.Y. Misc. LEXIS 2375.

I’m pretty sure an appellate court in Florida has upheld the federal statute and it has been upheld by several trial judges in the District of Columbia (without opinion).

Well, that probably cancels out the value of a few tens of thousands in car leases.
