#33People have sex everywhere they can. Maybe it'll be a little higher than 'sex in regular cars' but I doubt it'll be measurable.

It's going to be super measurable and that's why there's already an article about it: if you're two in a regular car, with one person driving, you can't really have sex (it's doable I guess but dangerous and illegal).
Now if you're three in a regular car, with a driver, the two that could have sex typically wouldn't (for privacy reasons: they don't want to do it next to the driver, except in some cases).
I don't doubt that some regular cab drivers had people having sex in their taxi but I'm willing to bet that 99% of the time when they take two people, these two people aren't having sex.

#35Amusing little article while this is still a novel service. If this is actually happening, it will stop almost immediately because the combination of passenger-facing cameras and non-anonymous rides will get you barred for life.
More like for the life of that particular service, which could be weeks or decades.

#36Earlier quoted context omitted.
Over in Japan, some of the taxis now play ads (obnoxious audio included!) for the passengers to watch. Yes, you still pay the full fare. Yes, it is fucking obnoxious. No, there is no power off or mute button; none that I could find, anyway.
Not sure if it’s common elsewhere, but many gas stations around my area have screen on the pump that play obnoxiously loud ads while you’re pumping gas. Most of them have a mute button at least.
If it is the eight button variety the 2nd from the top button on the right side will mute it. Even though it is unlabeled.

> refuse to move if you're not staring at ads in the cabin omg, don't give them ideas! Oh wait, someone just patented this and is seeking VC funding.

New York taxis played looping ads when i was there 8 years ago...

#38What's the point of robotaxis if you can't screw in them? Are you just supposed to stare at your phone with all that extra time? They'll probably eventually get shittified like everything else and refuse to move if you're not staring at ads in the cabin.
I would expect the terms and conditions to allow for resale of any pron produced in the taxi.

What's the point of me taking a robotaxi if the two people before me could potentially have had sex in it?

They'll give out free rides for those willing to become content creators.
