You agree to surveillance when you enter the car. Just like a taxi, a bus, a train or a trolley.
You actually don't have an "expectation of privacy" in these spaces either. So a drone cam or telephoto lens is okay too. That's where state law is interesting.
California is actually surprisingly permissive for photographers and videographers.

Even if an Uber is considered a public space, that's not the sole determining factor in two-party consent cases. http://www.dmlp.org/legal-guide/california-recording-law http://www.dmlp.org/legal-guide/california-recording-law
- KirinDave 10y agoNot sure why you're being downvoted. Your read is absolutely right.
- ddrmaxgt37 10y agoDoesn't California require 2 party consent? So all parties have to consent to the recording for it to be lawful. Which state laws are you reading?
- KirinDave 10y ago2 party consent is the case when you're in a private space with someone else and have a "reasonable expectation of privacy." This is not an absolute thing. For example, a shoe cam to look up skirts doesn't fly just because you're in a public space.
