Motion sensors would be my first guess.

Yeah! I want to be able to check my progress before I flush! The fact that they take that liberty away from me is just wrong.

Motion sensing flushes don't work. I hate to be another Hank Hill, but this is bullshit... Went into Lowe's the other day, had to sit down and two of the three stalls were 'loaded'... I took the third and as I was hand washing, one of the Lowe's men cam in and had to wave his hand in front of the sensors. Obviously a routine job for some poor fucker... And what ever happened to your ability to give yourself, and others, a 'Courtesy Flush' ?

Simple solution; climb up on the toilet, make like you're a back catcher at a ball game and uh, let er rip
I assure you that you will be able to monitor your progress.

when I stand up to wipe they flush before I can throw the paper in the toilet. :/ NOT HAPPY ABOUT THIS TECHNOLOGICAL ADVANCEMENT.

To stand or to sit? That is the question.

Do you realize that this spurious advancement is due to miscreants not flushing? For this to exist there must be so many who do this.
At the least, kick flush, if it's a sanitary concern. I always do.
Building technologies around assholism is truly decadent and extremely fucked up!

I think it's a lightsensor, not a motion sensor
as you stand before it(or sit on it in the case of a toilet and not a urinoir) you cast your shadow on the sensor, if you move away the sensor detects increased light and flushes
altough I've also seen some that were just timed, once every so much time all urinoirs flushed at once

i think youre right on this, and the placement of lighting in the room can make it harder for them to be able to detect the change in light, which is why some of them you have to wave your hand in front of/over top of to create the shadow, and the others that flush randomly while youre still doing your paperwork probably catch the edge of your shadow and youre moving around, getting trigger multiple times.

most that ive seen usually have a button you can push to force it to flush, ive always used my foot for commode and elbow for urinal so my hands need not touch it (or just walk away depending on current state), as the day goes on a public restroom can be quite gross.
i still prefer the woods, the original auto flush.

I never sit down on public toilets; I traditionally wait til I get home. But it wasn't always this way.
I have noticed after having conducted a personal experiment that after stepping back the flush occurs.
This doesn't necessarily refute my suspicion of an underground monitoring team of experts.
If this happens underground at all - why not the next room or perhaps outsourced to India.

Maybe it's just my paranoia but I feel like there's just a motion sensor in the men's room but a camera in the women's.
I, honestly, never you public toilets unless I'm too far from home to swing by and use my own; it almost never happens because I live in town. I feel like 99% of public restrooms aren't fit for even wild animals to use.
