As someone who worked at a ridesharing co, I'm also really curious about the ops side of things, like how will passengers behave when there's no driver in the car? Will people try to have sex, do drugs, make a mess? What happens when someone vomits in the car or is very drunk (actually a very common problem in ridesharing)?
- mulletbum 8y agoThey change the interiors of the car to accommodate. There is a reason the public transportation doesn't feel like my Ford Fusion. It is made for lots of different butts to be in and if a mess is caused they come in and spray it out. A bus for example can be cleaned with a pressure washer (sometimes inside and out.) Seats, headboards, etc. etc. can all be put on by snaps or simple screws. Anything stolen can easily be monitored and the last occupant can be charged for it. There are a lot of ways to get this done and make it extremely cheap and durable.
- Jyaif 8y agoThis is also my main concern. It's the reason (non autonomous) car sharing is failing in France: the people behave like pigs and the cars are disgusting. One solution would be to add censors to check after each ride if the interior of the car has been degraded.

- randcraw 8y agoAll commercial AV services will put cameras inside the car to ensure that you don't misbehave. You'll have no more right to privacy in an AV than you do today in taxis when the cabbie looks at you in the rear view mirror. Less, probably. They'll successfully promote the practice as offering greater security and warning you when you leave something behind.
