Virtually every Uber already has one or more cameras inside to monitor the passenger. It's even a feature of the driver app to do this with the phone on the dashboard. Companies like Google have far better track records with their internal privacy controls than random Uber drivers and I'm at least somewhat hopeful that US lawmakers will get their act together on regulating the use of the data. As for safety, have you ever been in an Uber? Waymo at least is already meeting that bar.
