This high velocity jet would be low pressure, and the surrounding higher pressure air would be sucked into it's path - yes?

Not saying such a path along the side of the car would be anything but disruptive to "air attachment" and "air flow", but if greeted aft by some sort of intake, could manage the flow in a controlled manner.

Think of the diagram below, front of wing jet is the side view mirror, and the aft suction inlet manages the jet so that it conforms to the body's surface or in the image below is attached the top of the wing.
