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

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.
UNEXPECTED ITEM IN BAGGING AREA.
What'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'd just post the videos in public. The riders will hopefully get fired from their jobs as their employeer's can't handle the controversy and quickly people will learn that sex is a robotaxis is sex in public and learn to behave.
I have no problem if you buy your own level 5 car and have sex in it. I have a much bigger problem with people having sex in shared vehicles that are not cleaned between riders.

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.

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

One of the many, MANY jarring things about going to the US. I jam my gas-gap filler cap in the handle and go check the oil so I can get as far away from that nonsense as possible.

I was in Boston like 10 years ago and saw this.

All the gas pump handles I've used have a thingy that you can flip down to hold the trigger in place so you can let go and they will keep pumping. I've only pumped gas in Washington, California, and at a station that was on a Native American reservation in Oregon. Are there states where gas pumps don't have support hands free pumping?
Yep, it has been taken away in a lot of places to prevent spilling.
When I did it in Australia the attendant turned off the pump and scolded me.
