Is it too unreasonable of an idea for Uber to eventually force in-car CCTV (i.e. a reversed dash cam) for all rides in progress?

Seems like it would solve a lot of the he said / she said arguments discussed in the articles, at a relatively low cost footprint. I guess economically, the cost of 'fraud' would have to outweigh the cost of dash cams.

The driver should be required to report an incident like vomiting while the ride is still in progress. Then the passenger should get a notification on the app with the ability to contest the accusation and submit a picture of the clean seat right from the app to prove their story.

I don't think it's about cost - you have to bring a full car to Uber anyway, a dashcam is nothing next to that.
