For the past 3 years, every yellow cab I have ridden has had an always-on camera.
I like it. If I wanted privacy I would call a friend or drive myself... cabs are for convenience. Security footage protects both drivers and riders from abuse, which translates to lower costs and greater availability.
Cab companies like Uber already track routes and riders, that's the valuable and privacy-sensitive information... security footage? Doesn't add much.
