What? The whole Uber board, all their execs and their staff think this is a good idea? I don’t get how these things get decided in some companies.

  Every cab I have ever got in has had a video camera with a note saying that they are recording.

    And for every cab, that recording stays offline in the vehicle (protected compartment) unless circumstances say otherwise. It also doesn't have infinite storage. Both are different in this case, so the comparison is moot.

      I'd disagree. I suspect the system would have the ability to simply upload when back at the cab facility, or a removable harddrive to transfer files to a computer. So, yes, it's harder for a cab company to keep all that data, but it's still possible.

      > When the trip ends, the user will be asked if everything is okay and be able to report a safety incident and submit the audio recording to Uber with a few taps This sounds pretty similar to what's happening in the cabs. The recording stays offline in your phone unless someone feels that it's the sort of thing that should be uploaded to Uber.
