that contributed to the experience. The naughtiness of being in a semi-public place contributed to the experience, though the fog created by their activity apparently made it hard to see in or out.
A word of warning to riders considering getting off before they get out of a robotaxi, there are cameras that face into the vehicles, too. These are used to monitor the vehicles for cleanliness and safety. Although neither Cruise nor Waymo seem to have official rules against sex in their vehicles, they do ask passengers to avoid engaging in acts that could “potentially make others uncomfortable.”
“We’re working hard to make sure our service is safe, clean, and open to everyone, and riders agree to do their part when they sign up to use our service,” a Cruise spokesperson said. “We will take appropriate action against anyone who violates those guidelines.” That has gotten some riders into trouble for doing things like consuming alcohol from an open container in a robotaxi, which is expressly forbidden. So far, none of the riders have reported receiving warnings from Cruise or Waymo . However, it may be worthwhile to remember that even if there are no other people in the vehicle, they aren’t ever really alone.
