Tricky ethical point IMO. Google are a private, foreign, corporation that's managed to make itself utterly ubiquitous; it pervades almost everybody's life every day. Regardless of what the law has to say that makes a google car a little bit like public property. If it, Google, then wants to absorb public entertainment and regurgitate it for profit, there's an argument to be made that it's fair for the public to absorb some of its profits for entertainment.
