Not to mention the fact that now driver and passenger are taking photos, presumably with people in them, and sending them to Uber.

I def don’t want random photos of me sent to Uber!

You take a picture of an empty seat.

You sit in that seat, and complete your ride.

You get out of the car, take another picture of the empty seat, and off you go.

Those pictures of the seats before/after condition don't have any personal details in them. No humans. And they're only shared with Uber for verification in cases where claims are made.

So, I don't see the problem.
