In that case, Toyota is currently breaking that law on my street.

For that to be analogous, it would have to be "Enterprise" or "Hertz" doing it. Not Toyota. If Hertz (Or CityCarShare) just went ahead and just put their cars willy-nilly anywhere they wanted, then you'd have a point.

Maybe this would all be fixed if every Bird scooter had a license plate and you needed to be licensed to drive them?

In contrast to Bird, Scoot hasn't attracted that much criticism in SF despite being a pretty similar service.
