That first question is wild to me. Having to share a space with a questionably vetted stranger is one of the primary downsides to rideshare apps. Privacy and comfort are huge bonuses.

Waymo cameras permanently record everything that happens in their vehicles, right?

Many rideshare drivers have internal cameras and no restrictions on what they do with the recordings.

Different models of privacy. I don't really care if faceless corpo knows I spent hours the other day spewing fire from both ends because I finally met my match in spicy foods, but it's a somewhat uncomfortable topic to discuss in front of some strange dude sitting in the car.

that's a little weird since the driver will forget about it quite fast but the recordings could be stored forever and tied to you personally.

Some people see this as an upside. Not me, not you, but these people exist.
