Some People Are Having Sex in San Francisco's Robotaxis (sfstandard.com) 56
An anonymous reader shared this report from the San Francisco Standard:
As autonomous vehicles become increasingly popular in San Francisco, some riders are wondering just how far they can push the vehicles' limits — especially with no front-seat driver or chaperone to discourage them from questionable behavior... The Standard has spoken to four separate Cruise car riders who said they've had sex or hooked up in the driverless vehicles in San Francisco over recent months and have provided ride receipts. The Standard was unable to find a source who said they'd had sex in a Waymo...
The rules and regulations surrounding robotaxis are murky, largely because the industry is so new... Unfortunately for the debaucherous among us, robotaxi companies currently use pretty extensive camera surveillance inside and outside of their cars. "We record video inside of the car for added safety and support," Cruise states on its website... When asked, both Cruise and Waymo sidestepped commenting directly on what is or isn't allowed in their cars.

I wonder how many orgasms per mile can be had in a robotaxi? Is it a milestone worth advertising?
Different from Uber how? (Score:3)
I have a few friends that do Uber full time for a living, and they have a lot of wild stories of what people do in the back seat. Two people having normal sex is among some of the more mild things. Try threesomes, two guys doing ass to mouth, or even outright orgies.
I think the only difference here is now they can do it in the front seat too.

"Sidestepped commenting"???
It seems mealy mouthed manager types cannot give a straight answer these days without running it past legal and marketing.
Unless they have robotic cleaners wiping down seats after each ride, why cannot they say sex is disallowed within the taxi? As is spitting and worse.

Ewww!
Well I guess one way to reduce the number of incidents like these is to have a set of cameras facing the passenger compartment. (see panopticon [wikipedia.org]) You know, for "Quality" purposes. The ones that still insist on doing the nasty may find their activities cut and splice and made into an adult film short (I'm thinking 2 minutes) streamed from Amazon. Of course the TOS and Privacy Policies would have to be modified to allow for this.

I'm not up on American slang. Is "hooking up" just pashing and groping? Because surely that's standard practice in the taxi/uber home from a successful date.

No, it means fucking strangers - generally. I.e. whoever you just picked up from the bar, tinder, whatever.

No, "hooking up" is the sex that happens after, and "date" tends to mean more of a relationship than just a one night stand.
The closest stereotype I can think of is hooking up in the back seat of a car, which (hopefully!) occurs after driving to a secluded spot to part the car.
That applies more to people without privacy in their own homes, where a taxi is presumably taking the two back to one of their homes instead. In either case the hooking up came after.

No robotaxi is designed w/o a system that `monitors' passengers' behaviour. Having such a system is an architectural requirement, not late-in-the-making bag on the side. You /are/ being watched in one of those. Behave yourself if you mind being caught.

I've heard some very interesting anecdotes from a friend who does IT contract work for airport surveillance systems. Not only does being recorded going in and out of the restroom not bother them, but it actually seems to add spice to the situation.

we're all supposed to own nothing and be happy, where we all simply rent everything in the moment where we need it, there will be a whole new set of obnoxious problems to deal with and so life will be no better.
When we do not own a car, and we instead summon an automated self-driving car, we will need to don a hazmat suit before boarding. And of course, we'll either be sharing the hazmat suits [cringe] or need a way to store and carry them in a convenient form, or wear them all the time as some newfangled form of fashion... life will apparently resemble a hybrid blend of a a Woody Allen film and 12 Monkeys.
