Right and the other part is how do you know when the footage needs to be reviewed?

Just add two buttons to the app "minor cleanliness issue" and "major cleanliness issue". Then someone remotely checks the footage. If it is confirmed then the previous passenger gets charged a cleaning fee. Majors cost more or could result in ban. Cleaning can be done by carwashes.

Eventually you develop some clever covers and devices/stations that enable rapid cleaning.

With all the computing power and vision AI available in such a vehicle, it seems like it would be possible to perform an automated interior scan of the cabin after each ride. Detecting cleanliness issues(and forgotten baggage).

Might be difficult to detect if someone peed though unless you can make the interior highlight it somehow. Maybe a moisture detector could be added but could be difficult to calibrate that for rainy days.
