Every time there's a new technology, one of the first things that people will ask is "can I use this for sex in some manner?"
If the answer is "no", the new technology will probably not see widespread adoption.
This is not a new thing. I'm sure the notion "we could have more and better sex if the cave was kept warm by this new-fangled 'fire' thing while we do it" was instrumental to our rise as the dominant species on our planet.
Anakin: Self-driving cars will orbit the street's so there will always be one nearby if someone requests a ride.
Padme: But they'll regularly come back to a central hub for cleaning, right?

If you can fit at least two people inside a thing, that thing will be fucked in.
Meh, people proved that wrong with glory holes, only really have to fit 1 person and an access point.
Remember when Musk promised self driving Teslas will be here and you'll just let your car earn some money when you're not driving it. Why did anyone believe that was a good idea? Just imagine the condition your car would show up in when it's time to go home from work.
surprised pikachu
the enginners at waymo the moment they make this discovery:
People are having sex in non-self driving cars, so yeah of course if they think they can pay attention less there going to be more people doing it
Who could ever possibly have predicted this?
because of course they are
I fucking hope so? Tf else do these exist
There's no such thing as a "self-driving car". Developers are just barely able to get into Level 4 automation, and I still doubt the safety of all of the edge cases it's going to encounter.
What’s your preferred description?
AI-assisted driving. The term "self-driving car" was an intentional deception Elon planted into the minds of Telsa owners.
What do you call the waymo cars? There's more cars/tech out there than just Tesla...
The edge cases are less likely than an unattentive human much quicker than one moght think.
A human understands that a big ass wide truck is not a skyline. A human understands the nuances of complicated intersections with road signs describing the situation.
Reliance on subpar "self-driving" systems has caused MORE accidents, not less. This whole argument that computers are better at driving cars on roads with other humans is flat out wrong. It will be someday, but there are far too many edge cases and even somewhat common cases to consider before we get there. Road configurations are far far too complicated in dense urban areas, and there are unusual ones in sparse rural areas.
This feels like the solution to a riddle: it seems obvious in retrospect, but never would have occurred to me
If there's no-one to drive you home, sometimes you need to take matters into your own hands.
Yeah, I've seen the videos.
I think we need links - for science.
pornhub.com look up self driving
How exciting!
gonna be real fun when one of these koolaid drinkers plows into a parked emergency vehicle
Yeah.... I know...
Sounds like a success story to me. These cars' automation is so good, you can f somebody while the car is moving and you won't crash!
