  The reason why these exist is to eliminate the need to pay a person to do what you’d expect any normal person to do (flush when done). Also, not having handles is more hygienic and is one less thing to break.
context: I wholeheartedly agree!
  The toilets at my workplace sprays me at least 5 times before I'm done. Sigh. >
  
  oh gosh yes i 100% agree. i also feel like handles are easier to repair bc the electrics for a sensor would probably be pretty wild to repair in a public bathroom >
  
  Changing a battery is not hard. >
  
  yeah if it’s the battery but if it’s something in the wiring i feel like it would be a hastle >
  
  Hopefully somebody with some expertise can comment. But at my work the sink sensor batteries and wires are visible and it’s a pretty simple set up. 
  Think about automatic soap dispensers you can buy for your home. Or even the automatic paper towel dispensers in public restrooms. Toilet and sink sensors seem more advanced because we can’t normally see them as they are attached to large components. >
  
  Pro tips:
  1- put toilet paper over the sensor so that doesn’t happen. If you’re in the urinal, tough shit (literally)
  2- put a piece of toilet paper in the water so when you poop there’s no splash back to your gooch
  I promise you that both are game changers >
  
  Great tips. #2 I've been doing for years, #1 I somehow only learned in the past few months. Both are game changers, agreed. >
  
  100% agreed, i'm like walking on eggshells whenever i see one of those and have to use it, mostly cause it scares the shit out of me before i'm even done. 
  i'd rather flush someone else's waste than have to fear using the toilet at all.
