There is also a direct benefit from riders who don't want to interact with a driver. Or want to have conversations that they would be uncomfortable subjecting a driver to.

I mean sure, there is a camera. But that is hugely different than a person (both positive and negative)

I wonder if that'll play poorly in the business crowd. Talking in hushed tones is bad but passable when there's a human driver. It's terrible when it's a recording device.

It's funny. For fun personal things I don't want to annoy the driver, but don't really care if what I say is recorded. For business you don't really care if the driver hears it, but don't want to get recorded.

I suspect that a well-defined retention and usage policy could satisfy most business. In fact they might prefer it to having a driver listening in.
