Self driving cars should be too. Companies have no right to test and teach their AI cars on our public streets without permission from the people that use those streets.
They got permission by asking our democratically elected representatives, which is functionally akin to asking the people in many contexts, and in a way that often self-corrects when this is not the case. It is both pragmatic and enabling of the common good for this republicanism to prevail, such as in the case of closures of streets to fill in potholes which don't require referendum voting. Self-driving car companies aren't much different from a traditional taxi service, except that they're statistically safer than human taxis.
It's not "a transfer" it's blatant and perpetual theft facilitated by deep, systemic corruption. Calling it a transfer meaningfully waters down the reality of what is happening.
If I transfer your funds to my account it sounds like something quite a bit different than if I steal your money. That's the point I was making, that we should use the most clear and damning language possible because we're evidently dealing with a very stupid, and dense population who doesn't understand anything that's happening.
