San Francisco, August 12: As the popularity of autonomous vehicles continues to surge in San Francisco, a growing number of riders are wondering just how far they can push the vehicles’ capabilities, and to test that they are having sex in self-driving taxis.

On a recent late-night outing, a woman in her 20s took her first robotaxi ride. It was also her first experience having sex in a self-driving car, reports The San Francisco Standard. Sex in Robotaxi: Riders Making Out in Driverless Vehicles in San Francisco, Elon Musk Reacts to Report.

The woman said that they got in the robotaxi and immediately started making out. One thing led to another, and her partner made certain that she was taken care of.

Moreover, the report mentioned that four separate Cruise car riders have admitted that they’ve had sex or hooked up in driverless vehicles in San Francisco over recent months and have provided ride receipts. Sex in Car Kills Dialysis Patient!
