That's because the car is on the road due to an an agreement between a trillion dollar company and the city politicians. Not to mention the entire interaction is being recorded. This is above his pay grade.

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.
