I assume it’ll become less manned and less action taken because manning and taking action costs money, reduces margin, and removes cars from circulation. Certainly for crimes they’ll go after you. But leaving litter, spilling stuff, even leaving bodily fluids, I suspect will get through the cracks more and more as margins compress.
This doesn’t even happen for cheaper mass transit, why would it happen for more expensive automated taxis? Cleaning a car isn’t hard, they can centralize that fairly easy, Waymo has already talked about adding e-nose sensors to the interior eventually, then we don’t even need AI to flag a strong odor.
