Which could also cause trouble if some teens use it to go somewhere to have sex.

That sounds like something the car rental company would probably want to know about for sanitary reasons, so you're really not helping your case here by saying that cameras shouldn't be in the car to see it.

And speaking of doing nasty things in the vehicles, those vehicles will probably be so gross if people were actually constantly using them.

So if they're dirty, send it in for cleaning (something the AI can do by itself) and charge the bill to whoever dirtied it. Problem solved.

Basically, this idea is a dumb one with way too many flaws.

Weird how some pretty smart people have made a successful business model with it then.

You act like this is an idea that hasn't already been implemented. The only thing that separates this from current Car Share programs is the self-driving aspect of it.

But that could also happen in a self-driving service if the next person in the car steals it when they get in.

Something that would be picked up by the car's cameras. You would also have a record of who got in the car (since they would need to identify themselves to order the car), making it pretty easy to track down the culprit.

Maybe because they aren't thinking about making a fully autonomous taxi service yet like the one you described.

Uber's entire business model is predicated on that. They literally have yet to turn a profit because their entire business is not designed to work with human drivers and is unprofitable when they're in the picture. They're basically laying the ground work and banking on self-driving cars taking over the leg work so that the money flows to them instead of the drivers.

There's a reason why they're one of the biggest investors in self-driving cars despite not being a big tech firm.

And I'm not actually worried about the babies.

You're worried about leaving a phone behind but not about a kid dying?

Says a lot, man.

I'm pretty sure this won't happen for probably another 50 years, at the earliest.

Again, Uber is banking on this happening within the next 10 years. Pretty sure I trust their opinion on it more than yours.
