If you rely on human-operated cars for transport, your ability to go anywhere is already controlled by large institutions.

- You require a car manufacturer like Ford or Toyota to manufacture and sell you a vehicle.

- You require an insurance company to cover your liability.

- The government must issue you a license, which it may take away at any time for not abiding by its traffic laws.

Well, you atleast have some control over the government and can theoretically vote out any policies that would deny you the license to drive a vehicle.

Google is not beholden to any democratic process and can summarily deny my request to go somewhere.
