You have ID of who was in the car and when, and a 'report' button in the app for the next passenger. Easy enough, if something is reported you have the choice to wait for the next one while the trashed car goes to be cleaned or ride anyway at a discount if you solve it yourself - e.g: put the trash in a bag in the boot of the car. After N reports attributed to you, you get banned.

In the future, when you're old and quite possibly disabled, you might rethink the whole "walkable cities" thing. I mean, it's easy to say "just walk (or ride a bike)" when you're 22 years old and in prime health, but the population in most First World countries is rapidly aging.
> In the future, when you're old and quite possibly disabled, you might rethink the whole "walkable cities" thing. I am disabled, and like many other disabled people, I can't drive a car. Often times as people age they also lose the ability to drive a car safely. That is precisely why walkable neighborhoods are so important to old and disabled people.

No, it's true. If you're too feeble to walk, you're probably too feeble to drive. Of course, people who are just paralyzed from the waist down are a different story.
Again: patent nonsense.
Do you even know any old people?

You need to get rid of excessive solar energy when prices turn negative anyway. So why not charge a fleet of electric taxicabs.
Why not charge a fleet of busses or trams?

The room with the human sitting in it, because humans are known to vandalize things.
I can't believe I have to specify this, but I obviously meant "other than by the human watching the room". Equally I don't expect the Uber driver to be the one vandalizing their own taxi.

We do appreciate your sacrifice, here in the EU.
It's us in the EU who are having the sacrifice though. As we're left behind economically and technologically as a load of octogenarian bureaucrats decide to ban genetic engineering, AI, etc.

#580Genuine question -> - Elon (and his pro-analysts) heavily weight the future of the co's valuation on their ability to deploy a taxi network and has been promising it just around corner for years - Alphabet via Waymo seems to have "solved" robotaxis for city-proximity driving and has deployed as a business. Beyond the obvious "reality distortion field" argument is Tesla actually in a position to win here due to their…
There was an episode of The All In podcast a month or two ago. Friedberg brought up driverless Waymo being available in San Fran. Chamath hadn't even heard of it. He looked it up live and it blew his mind. These guys are all about tech and couldn't believe there were companies ahead of Tesla, what do you think the normies know?
