  At present, the service industry that provides services using automobiles as a tool for movement has come to occupy a very high proportion of the industrial structure. The interior of a car is a concealed space for drivers and passengers. Therefore, if the driver performs a bad act, if there is a conflict between the driver and the passenger, or if the driver is attacked or encounters a robbery, it is a concealed space Therefore, there is a problem of lack of third-party human evidence. In addition, the evidence for judging the dispute is only a unilateral description of the parties, and this can only be used as a reference. Therefore, when both statements are different, it becomes difficult to rely on judgment. Therefore, distrust occurs between the driver and the passenger, and it is difficult to improve the quality of service as a service industry.
