Scientists Say Humans Will Be Having A Lot Of Sex In Self-Driving Cars

Thesis was handed by Scott Cohen of Surrey University and Debbie Hopkins of Oxford University.

One of the areas affected by the spread of autonomous vehicles is the hotels and restaurants. This is because cars themselves will play the role of hotels and restaurants by becoming unnecessary without driving. The scene of eating rice in a car parked in a parking lot of a convenience store or parking by the park and sitting in a nap is not an unusual scene but if the car autonomously runs, lose.

In that case, concern is "increase in car sex". Although simply saying "car sex", Cohen et al point out the possibility that a car will be used as a place of prostitution. For example, in the past cases that had moved to the hotel will be finished in the car in the future.

If you are a rent-a-car, you may be equipped with a monitoring device so that it will not be a place of car sex or a place to use drugs, but on the other hand, such functions may be invalidated or removed immediately .

To the end this story is only a part of the paper and I'm afraid that I am worried too much, but according to another paper published in The Journal of Sex Research, Since there are survey results showing that 60% have reached things in parked cars, there is a good possibility that cases will increase with "this happy" when an automatic driving car appears.
