I thought of that.  A robocab could be build with disposable pads not
attached to the seats, like those things a prole would take to the football
stadium.  The computer screen and seat pads come out, the rest of it can be
cleaned with a high pressure hose.  We have those devices that go into an
internet refrigerator which can tell when you are out of something: those
could be in there informing the company if some drunken prole has barfed or
spilled his seed onboard, it comes in, opens its doors, robocar wash takes
over.

 

There's already a song for it.  Substitute a few words from the Rose Royce
song and you get: 

 

Eeeeelon Musk will surely get rich

With the rest of us digging a ditch.

Ain't nobody there to meet

No movie star to Indian Chief

 

No work at the robocar wash,

No work at the robocar wash yea,

Come on, sing it with me, robocar wash.

 

Etc.

WOWsers, this song is nearly 50 years old, oh I am such a geezer:

There is no point denying the obvious: we need to think of new low-skill
jobs.

 

Fun aside, I have seen this video a dozen times but I just noticed that last
scene.  The photo of John F. Kennedy, next to it Martin Luther King.  He is
hanging a photo of. Richard Pryor.   {8^D
