Re: San Franciscans are having sex in robotaxis
#42What'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.
> What's the point of robotaxis if you can't screw in them? What's the point of me taking a robotaxi if the two people before me could potentially have had sex in it?

Good luck finding an airbnb that hasn't been recently used by someone else.

#44Slightly related, but found it interesting that the main image on what is at least semi-purported to be a news article is a midjourney AI image (though kudos to the article for clearly identifying this).
Stock photo businesses are deaaaaad.
Edit: though if you look at it the actual configuration of this "back seat of the taxi" in this image is completely bizarre.

#45Earlier 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.
Euro-person her: the ones by me have a videocamera pointing at us...they just get the finger during my transaction.

To get from point A to point B I would assume. Id be way more concerned about someone getting in to shoot up and OD'ing in there. Instead of getting a taxi you end up with a dead body delivery.

It's gross for two reasons I think (not saying I necessarily relate to them): 1) communicable diseases, e.g. crabs., and 2) if someone has to maintain cleanliness for any religious purpose.

#48> The Standard was unable to find a source who said they’d had sex in a Waymo.
> “The vast majority of our riders are respectful and follow our rider rules,” a Waymo spokesman said.
Yes, I'm sure the reason is because Waymo riders are just superior and not because they have less market (or otherwise) penetration.

> 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.
Why stop at Taxis? You could be required to watch a short ad before pumping some gas or entering a restroom.
