>>Unsupervised in what sense? There's internal cameras that are periodically checked.

What do you think is more likely to get vandalized - a room with a human sitting in it, or a room with a camera watching it?



They have my credit card and they could ban me from their app. It's not like people constantly trash hotel rooms or rental cars.


> It's not like people constantly trash hotel rooms

I worked as a house attendant in an upscale hotel for years. Let me tell you from experience: a shockingly high percentage of people trash and damage their rooms. Not the majority, but enough to keep staff busy every day.


99.9% of people also don't vandalize toilets, buses, trains and other public amenities, it's the 0.1% that do that's the problem...


None of those places have a good idea of your identity, though.


The room with the human sitting in it, because humans are known to vandalize things.


I can't believe I have to specify this, but I obviously meant "other than by the human watching the room". Equally I don't expect the Uber driver to be the one vandalizing their own taxi.


They do occasionally, I smell smoke in the headliner because the driver is an occasional smoker.


And yet you'll find that your definition of clean may far exceed the driver of an Uber's at least every other trip.
