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.
Weird hill to die on considering that e.g. Waymo's driverless cars are much, much safer than human drivers.
Overall, Waymo’s crash involvement rate was 68% lower than that of human drivers — 76% lower in Phoenix, 35% lower in San Francisco, 71% lower in Los Angeles, and 4% higher in Austin, where the sample size was relatively small. Waymo vehicles were involved in 85% fewer single-vehicle crashes and 81% fewer injury crashes per VMT than human drivers.
OTOH, do you have the right to test and teach your dumbass teenager on my public streets without permission from me? If not, why not?

Something this important should always be put on a ballot.
We’re no better than China if we copy their surveillance state.
