touchless faucet

Hands-free water tap

A touchless faucet is a faucet that turns on and off automatically using motion sensors, without requiring physical contact.

Common in public restrooms for hygiene reasons, they're increasingly found in home kitchens: The touchless faucet made it easy to rinse my hands while handling raw chicken.
