If the vehicle is moving at a constant speed, then the guy should be moving at the same speed in the direction of the vehicle during the jump since they’re in the same reference frame, so there’s no reason why he would suddenly lag behind and jump onto the ground.
Edit: Damn physics classes conditioned me into always assuming air resistance is 0!

The vehicle overcomes air resistance with an engine and maintains its speed. The jumper has no engine and will be affected by air resistance
Like the other commenter said, the comic is exaggerated but true
Unless the jumper is farting really hard.
Checkmate.
A head wind would be one reason.
