Maybe there is some opportunity to embrace the trash. What if we replace the dashboard with a selection of recycling bins and expect people to be unpacking their shopping, eating food on the way and creating waste, putting facilities in place? Perhaps we even expect people to just bring their wastebin contents with them because it is easier than putting it in street collection bins. Time in transit can be spent 'doing the recycling'. Well filtered fresh waste may even be preferable for recycling and perhaps the autonomous car driving company has a nice sideline in collecting raw materials for recycling. Tesla are leading the way with a minimal aesthetic, where the fiddly knobs and switches are all gone and there is just one massive touchscreen instead. There is also no central tunnel to disguise or carpet over. Soon all cars will adopt this look and it may even be possible to offer a selection of power-wash friendly trim levels. Given the choice of a regular car, e.g. my dad's or one of my workmates, or a power-washed autonomous car, I would imagine the latter to be cleaner even if it had seen multiple vomit stains in the last month.
