How is this going to combat people who make a mess inside the vehicle after going 100 percent without human drivers/test engineers? If it picks up a drunk person at 3 AM who then throws up inside the car, is it vomit-aware and knows it needs a cleaning before picking up the next passenger?

Probably. Even if it can't be automated (which doesn't sound too complicated), it wouldn't take many people to evaluate a photo of every cab interior once after every ride.

Does anyone have more info or speculation on the tech stack sitting in the trunk?

What keeps people from doing that on subways now? Nothing but the social contract, and so subways are generally somewhat dirtier than cabs, but still get you from point A to point B.

Uber could claim they need to record passengers in order to spot damage or dirtying of the cab. (Otherwise passengers could blame any damage on the previous occupant.)

They can certainly have a video/image feed of the inside, to remote check if it is messy once the ride is over(can be automated to a good extent with image recognition), and retire it from service until its cleaned up.
