Some passengers use the ride as a confessional or just to vent. I feel it would be wrong to share too much about what they say. It seems like an unwritten rule. I don't have a front/rear view dash cam like a lot of drivers advise because I appreciate these conversations and don't want to inhibit them.

    But he wouldn't get Uber's permission. It's against their terms of service to record passengers.

What happens to passenger-driver confidentiality?

  I drive for Lyft and Uber and no one has ever said a word about it. I think it's just understood.
