No you can't. Plenty of taxis record the backseats of their cars, and you have no way of knowing which do/don't.
Taxis don't offer you enough privacy over Uber, and the reason he's coming after Uber is because he wants to stay relevant, not because Uber is particularly bad.

He's just applying his principles to the world as he sees it, and he's been doing this literally for decades: https://stallman.org/~rms/archives/index.html https://stallman.org/~rms/archives/index.html
