I've always thought the Suzuki Ignis is this shape.

A manager where I used to work told me how she and her sister were drunk in a taxi after a night out. She thought it was hilarious that her sister pissed all over the back seat and they did a runner when the furious driver demanded a cleaning fee. Without anyone there holding people to account, a shared car will be vandalised and filthied.
Whenever I’ve used the Tube on a Sunday morning I have never sat down due to the number of people who piss themselves the previous evening.

People are disgusting and no amount of clever electronic monitoring will stop people if there isn’t another human present.

But, economics are changing rapidly and as people find more and more things to spend their money on they have less and less to make big purchases such as homes or cars. The simple fact is that they will have no choice but to sit in random stranger’s bodily waste. Fractional ownership and PAYG contracts will be how they access vehicles. But it will be through amazingly trendy apps and some fantastic buzzwords that will be more than enough to compensate the ever so mild issue of sitting in a pile of random punter faecal waste.
