Apparently, People Are Having Sex In Cruise AVs

Autonomous vehicles promise a variety of benefits, including more time to work or relax as the onboard algorithms handle the task of driving. That said, it should come as no surprise that some folks will use a ride in a robotaxi for other pursuits – like having sex. Funny enough, some Cruise customers are already doing the nasty in San Francisco as the technology division’s operations expand across the city.
In a recent report, The San Francisco Standard says that it spoke with four separate Cruise riders who confessed to have “had sex or hooked up in driverless vehicles in San Francisco over recent months and have provided ride receipts.” The publication was unable to find a rider who said they had sex in a Waymo autonomous vehicle. According to the report, one of the Cruise riders, a woman in her 20s, took her first ride in an autonomous vehicle in a late-night excursion with her partner, a man in his 30s. The couple began by making out, but “one thing led to another,” and before long the two riders were getting busy in the backseat of the Cruise AV.
“It seems like I’m a trailblazer,” the man told The San Francisco Standard. “It’s also fun to realize that this is like the first place you can do this in the country – the first [autonomous vehicles] that exist.”
Critically, autonomous vehicles are equipped with a range of cameras and other sensors that record what’s going on outside the vehicle, as well as inside the cabin.
“We record video inside of the car for added safety and support,” Cruise says on its website. “If something happened during your ride, we might review the recording to better understand what happened.”
For now, it’s unclear if any actions were taken against the naughty Cruise riders.
Cruise recently expanded is driverless taxi services throughout the city of San Francisco, and will be permitted to operate 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Previously, Cruise was limited in providing its services in certain parts of the city and only during specific hours. Cruise is also expanding its services to other major cities in the U.S., such as Phoenix, Austin, Houston, Dallas, Nashville, Atlanta, and Miami.

And people think taxi’s with human drivers are nasty. These unattended drones will be even worse.
They should use a black light on the back seat. 🤮🤮🤮
And on the headliner, door panels, glass,,,,,
Wait till it’s a toilet. Lucky if you don’t get sick in one.
I see these as a hotbed for crime and other types of nefarious activities as well.
…“Hotbed”.
🏆
Cruise needs to do a random video check of each ride. If they see sexual activity occurring, reroute the trip to the nearest police department. Send video of the act to the same police department. Request they be charged as sex offenders and have to register as one. Such shenanigans will end very quickly and they’ll never have that problem again.
Gotta watch what you do with the videos. There will be lawsuits as to what is considered “reasonable expectations of privacy,” That includes conversations that are considered private.
This article has nothing to do with “conversations.” Privacy does not extend to back seats of moving automobiles on public streets. There are places designated for privacy and they are called “home.” Good luck trying to convince a judge that your “privacy” includes “back seat sex!” in a moving vehicle.
I think what’s happening in these drones is wrong, imorral, and illegal. I’m just saying there will be some idiot that pushes the envelope with this issue and some lawyer who will be more than happy to take the case.
So we found the puritan prude.
There’s bound to be lawsuits regarding what is considered “reasonable privacy” with these things. Would it even be legal to record people and/or their conversations?
Party pooper ……………..
“Send video of the act to the same police department.”
This is in San Francisco. It’s probably not even a crime.
Or at least not a crime that worth bothering with and spending public dollars on dealing with.
Eww. Just one more reason why I have zero interest in riding in one. Just think about the poor person being paid minimum wage (in SF no les!!) to clean the interiors on those cars.
Unfortunately in San Fran, a lot of people do this activity right in the streets.
My understanding sex pretty much happens anywhere.
Some places more frequently than others ….🤣
Whatever floats your boat..(I think sex happens there too…)
And voila the reason Americans insist upon owning their own vehicles. Not only is it available 24/7, you have none of this garbage going on, or renting one after someone hotboxed it, or was drunk and barfed all over it. Ridesharing is not the way of progress. Sorry WEF.
I’m shocked! Shocked I tell you!
Ok.
Not that shocked.
😂
Another reason the Tesla pitch about FSD eventually making your car pay for itself by renting it out as a robotaxi is silly. The only stains I want to wash out of the back seat are ones I make. 😛
What a bunch of animals. The future of this world looks so bright with all this new technology
Nasty hotel hot tubs of the automotive world.
It sure beats Playing “Patty Cake” in a “Self Driving GMC Truck”!!
