Can robotaxi design curb adult content filming inside driverless cars?

Ars Technica examines whether interior design choices can stop adult content creators from using driverless robotaxis as filming locations. With no human driver on board, unmanned vehicles have reportedly become appealing spaces for explicit content, raising questions for operators like Waymo and Zoox about cameras, materials, and monitoring that could deter such use without invading passenger privacy.

Why now: Driverless cars remove the witness that normally deters inappropriate behaviour, making the design challenge a fresh and provocative topic as robotaxis expand.
