Solvable with a combination of:

- reputation systems

- computer vision / cameras / contract law

- price discrimination based on the required state of the vehicle (i.e., premium pricing for a guarantee that a vehicle has been cleaned)

Yeah I was implying that with my second point, sorry for not being clear.

OK, we are in agreement then. For some reason I thought you meant charging more for wanting a clean vehicle. I'd rather charge more for people who leave the car in a messy state (because they are in a hurry or something)

Yes, the third point was about charging more for clean vehicles, the second point about charging people for not leaving their vehicles behind clean.

But yeah, I do think we agree :)
