Vomiting in Robotaxis Saves Money, Not Mess
People say they don’t want someone throwing up in their autonomous car. I don’t get that. Rideshare services charge a $200 cleaning fee to the rider when they throw up. That would take hours to generate by giving rides, and I avoid the wear and tear on the vehicle. So please, throw up in my Robotaxi. It just makes financial sense.
