Sure, but I think a few interior cameras would deter that behavior. Not saying that's desirable; just likely where it's all headed.

- tjoff 8y agoThere are cameras in taxis today. I don't believe for a second a self-driving taxi would ever be used without internal cameras. As a privacy minded person I think that is ok. When I enter a taxi I don't expect total privacy (obviously don't expect the recordings to end up on youtube though). I'm more concerned by the external-facing cameras. Possibly registering everything and everyone that didn't take part in my ride. Without laws in place that data will most definitely be used for evil and the excuse might be targeted ads.
- tynpeddler 8y agoI think they'll go on step farther. There will be a video screen with a video of a person on it who will be there to answer questions the customers might have, subtly advertise things and so forth. The presence of a human face who "interacts" with the passengers will help create a personal connection both to the company and to the car, so people will be less likely to vandalize things. Even crazier, whoever is the "face" of uber or waymo will be one of the most viewed human beings one arth, so there will be big bucks invested in find a face or faces that people will bond with on an emotional level. At some point, someone may say to you, "I prefer uber because Gina is so much nicer."
