Lost item - Uber

My friend booked an Uber cab and it wasn't moving. He sent a text asking for Phone Number in the app itself. She didn't give any number at first but then he started to spam the chat asking for phone number and she thought maybe he couldn't call her for some reason via Uber that's why asking for number. So she sent her number to the driver expecting a call from him. There was a warning about not sharing phone number in the chat which was ignored. Just after few secs of sharing the phone number, the ride was started without even her being in the car. She wondered how can an Uber start a ride without a pin as she needs to share the pin and she could see the car nowhere. When trying to cancel the ride, it showed that it would charge extra money and so she decided not to cancel it yet and tried to check other options to complain to Uber. The cab driver ended the trip and money was deducted automatically as she had online payment set up. Although she was successful to get the refund for the same on reporting it in Uber, I wanted to know how can someone start ride without the pin being shared? What did he do with the phone number ?

Recently Uber launched Audio Recording feature for the rides which would provide an added layer of safety on an ongoing trip. As per Uber, all audio recordings are encrypted and stored securely on your device. Your recording will be locked, and no one—not your driver, not Uber, not you—has access to it. Uber can only access the recording if you report an incident and choose to share the recording. Uber does not share these recordings with third parties and these recordings are only used to resolve safety concerns. Few issues I see with this feature 1. Consent - Consent from both parties of being recorded. Since the feature doesn’t notify passengers or drivers when recording starts, I believe consent plays a big part. 2. Since Uber is going to share these with law enforcement agencies this could go sideways and Uber might receive too many summons from law agencies to share such recordings or this might see an increase in false complaints. 3. Storage - Uber using phone storage instead of in-app cloud storage. 4. Data handling - We have seen data breaches in past. This questions what if scenarios. 5. Inability to share recording until after the trip might be a limitation in cases where immediate intervention or reporting is required. I know this is nice feature and would definitely deter any untoward behaviour by a driver or passenger but I want to understand is this the step in right direction? All awesome PMs and engineers here, pls pitch in and share your thoughts.
