"at boosting rideshare safety, including by requiring drivers to make audio and video recordings of trips” Why is this a bad thing? Isn’t it also for the safety of the driver? What am I missing?

Has Uber ever followed through on those threats?

Companies play the threat game all the time. Just go, so a local startup that treats people better can take over.
