    It’s nearly impossible for people in their early 20s to have enough privacy to have sexual relationships with each other. Most are living with their parents or in shared apartments that afford little privacy. I don’t see why society seems to be so against giving young people enough privacy so they don’t have to resort to fucking on the streets. This was a massive reason why my last relationship failed.

      Looks like it’s time to convert some of that empty San Francisco commercial real estate into Japan-style love hotels.

          You can have sex almost anywhere you want just not in my backyard.

          I mean that too, but it’s a decent use between now and when we finally get the land rezoned for residential. the state of california should allow housing of any density with no parking minimums in all office zoned land in the state by right, overriding local zoning laws. also allow fourplexes in all residential land

    Some day, if it hasn’t happened already, we’re going to have a situation where a driverless car is driving around a dead body. Eventually I think the technology will get to a point where a self-driving, electric car will be able to drive itself to a charging station, initiate the recharge, and drive off afterwards. At that point we’ll have “ghost cars” that are perpetually driving around the country on some weird repeating loop where it’s just endlessly driving around with a rotting corpse inside.

    Good for them! At least someone around here is having sex. It sounds kinda hot too 😋 🥵

        You think the occasional sex will smell worse than a cabbie sitting in his seat for 12 hours straight living on hot dogs and mountain dew?

          As a former cabbie, the answer is emphatically yes and your stereotyping is gross.

      Train cars are a lot more expensive.

      And a lot of places not especially accessible. The nearest Amtrak station is a 70-minute drive away for me. I’m married, but if that was what I had to resort to to have sex, fuck it, I’m becoming a monk.

    This brings up a serious issue once these things become ubiquitous. If there’s no driver then who will make sure these things are clean? Over time these will become smelly vomit-filled cabs with litter if it’s a completely automated 24 hour cab system.

      Sounds like they need to make the interiors waterproof and send them through some automated wash between fares.

        Hopefully public transport gains over them then, you can imagine how awful it’ll be for the environment; and you’ll likely get wet pants or socks where the car didn’t dry quick enough 🤣

      I imagine it will be like those electric Lime scooters. They won’t bother to take care of them other than charging them, and we will soon find automated cabs in the river.

    Do they know that the cars have 360 cams recording the interior at all times? I’m pretty sure they tell you that immediately when you get in the car

    The thought of minding my own business on a street corner, looking up, and seeing a taxi with some people clapping cheeks rolling by me is a big source of amusement for me today

    If you think this is anything new you should look up who coincidentally invented the autopilot for airplanes and the mile high club.

    As a former taxi driver in nyc I can assure you that a driver is in no way an obstacle to people fucking in taxis.
