Okay, but now the shared autonomous car that comes to pick you up has someone else's trash and vomit in it and we're back at point 1.

  A car can drive itself but can’t tell whether its insides need cleaning or not? This seems fixable.

    Doesn't even need to be a privacy issue, just take still photos after the ride.

      There is a 0% chance that on-demand autonomous vehicles will not record their passengers. That would only be offered on negotiated business/executive contracts.

        To me the real question is what is the % chance they wont be selling that feed + plastering the interior with advertising opportunities. The public transit I've used is usually plastered with ads too.

  So let users reject a ride that arrives with excessive mess. That car goes to a cleaning facility and you wait for another one. If the car was in fact messy, the previous user takes a reputation hit and may eventually get charged more, if it happens enough to have high confidence they're really at fault. This gives an extra incentive for users to go ahead and report, if there's a problem. On the other hand if the car was fine, then a separate reputation score starts to lower the weight on the rejecting user, eventually just keeping their rejects in service instead of sending them for cleaning. It's up to the ridesharing service to decide what they consider "fine," probably something along the lines of "X% of users wouldn't report this."
