it's actually pretty easy to automate the state of the vehicle. if anything is left in the car the video is sent to an operator. The service instructs a cleaner to check the car and the passenger is sent a warning and eventually is banned from using the service.

And when margins compress the first thing that will go is the threshold for cleaning. Cleaning is not just expensive in labor but also taking a car out of circulation. All incentives point towards lowering standards to the absolute minimum people will tolerate.

The car drives itself to a cleaning station, or it is scheduled to be cleaned while charging. I don’t get why you think it will just be a race to the bottom and all common sense will be thrown out the window.

Margins aren't going to compress for some time considering that Waymo's only competition is human-operated driving services.
