So to add your vehicle to Tesla's ride-hailing fleet, you won't need to upgrade — there will already be a camera equipped to watch your future customers, just to make sure they're not making a huge mess in your self-driving car.
Waymo, which already has an autonomous taxi service in the Phoenix area, has cameras inside its modified Chrysler Pacifica mini-vans. Those are there to check for forgotten items or any damage to the vehicle, as the Verge reported after riding in the robo-car for a day.

So even though you are very much required to be in your vehicle and behind the wheel driving it today, tomorrow is a different story.
Meanwhile, let's really hope the cameras aren't like those in creepy Airbnb rentals (aka secretly recording you).
