So level 5 is supposed to magically stop people from barfing in the back seat, getting things accidentally wedged in door and trunk hinges, smearing dog poo on the carpets or scratching up seats with paws, opening car doors into traffic, or lighting up a massive doobie while riding?

Level 5 is a fantasy world as it is, let's not pretend it can do even more than is described.

Yes. It means that people who do those things often get their account suspended. If an Automated Uber arrives in an unsatisfactory condition, you could just reject it and send it back for maintenance/cleaning, and a new one will be on its way.

You can do all of that today in non-magical normal Ubers, and yet it still happens.

Or they get charged significantly extra for it.

I was focusing on "operating it properly"
