Several passengers driving driverless taxis in San Francisco admitted to having sex in the car because the driver was not driving. The newspaper writes about it San Francisco Standard.
A passenger, nicknamed Alex, admitted to the broadcast that he had sex three times in unmanned taxis. Alex’s partner, nicknamed Megan, noted that her meeting with Alex was the first time she had gotten into an autonomous vehicle.
“Was that the most comfortable? Was he the most perfect? Probably not. But the fact that we are in public. The taboo that this was wrong made it more fun and exciting,” added Meghan.
Cruise and Waymo have been operating fully self-driving vehicles in San Francisco since early 2022. Both Cruise and Waymo have cameras and microphones inside and outside their self-driving cars.
The companies have assured that these technologies are used to ensure the safety of passengers. Both companies stated that the microphones are only active during support calls. Travel regulations also state that passengers must wear seat belts throughout the journey.
