If I am the first pickup on a shared ride (e.g. UberPool or Lyft Line), where in the vehicle should I sit?

Can I ask my Uber driver to NOT record me with his webcam? If I do not want to be recorded, shouldn't I be able to request that?
Even calling into a customer service call (at a bank or whatever), we have the choice of asking not to …
I don't think they will be gone. They are, in one form or another, here to stay. Don't worry!
Your acceptance rate is 3%? How is it that low? I heard they don't enforce that or penalize for having a low acceptance rate, but that seems like a lot of saying "no."
No judgement. Just curious. Why so picky? In fact, a better question may be, isn't that a lot of hassle to be declining all those trips all day long?
Do you make people sign release forms when you post these? I don't know the legality of it (I mean it is your car), but I am curious.
There were a few recent threads where this was argued.

Why did my Uber driver take pictures of my girlfriend puking?
Thank you for the response. Yes, I understand that drivers have rights to record their space. I was curious if there was a way to request not to be recorded, but I guess that would defeat the purpose. If that were the case, all crooks will ask that the camera be turned off before attacking and/or robbing the driver, huh?
Anonymousity is pretty much gone riding a taxi, but I do consider that as a good thing, not a bad thing. I am not doing anything, say like cheating on a wife, and I suppose for one I shouldn't worry that my trips are being documented and for two that I am being recorded.
I wonder what celebrities do.
To be honest, I have regularly seen UberX drivers engaged on playing smartphone games. Now, I haven't run into anyone who is playing while the car is moving, but they do at red lights. They try to be non-discrete about it, but it's pretty darn obvious from the back.
I assume smartphone games is pretty darn popular amongst Uber drivers. I mean, they have to be doing something between fares on the road, right?
