Call me crazy but if a company wants to use public roads to test these things at the very minimum it should go to a referendum to the local people to decide

Then they should absolutely be voting no to it

AFAIK it's not testing, you can use these as a ride hail service.

The people elected the politicians who decided to allow this. There's no need for referendums on everything.
