Good catch! I saw that way back in the 70s but just could not place it. I thought that the driver was Clarence Williams III, but it looks like I was mistaken.
$2.99 on Amazon

How I got there:
Late 60's/early 70's cars, dashiki, hair.
Cosby driving 2nd car (taxi), heavily bearded.
Tried using filmography (right column of name page > Explore More), but didn't think it would be a comedy. 
Watched a second time to realize there was a taxi, so used 
https://www.imdb.com/search/title
(among the Advanced Searches, last entry on the search drop-down atop every IMDb page)
thus:
https://www.imdb.com/search/title/?keywords=taxi&role=nm0001070&sort=release_date,asc
Did not think he sported a beard in any I Spy episodes, so checked Uptown Saturday Night.
Then checked the photo gallery for any of the actors in the car being attacked, and there was the poster.

I'm an auto mechanic, so I got the cars. 1973 Chevy Wagon. Taxi that Cosby was in was a 1971 Galaxie or Custom 500. So I had the same time frame. Did not recognize Cosby in the beard. Completely missed Harry on the roof however!!! I only looked at this for about 10 minutes though.
How much time you spend on it?
