My thoughts exactly. The privacy aspect of not capturing other people in the video, not being bothered by other people, not taking up a table for too long, etc.

Not going to lie, I'm definitely not a fan of car-dependent infrastructure, but in this world we currently have, the car does provide a convenient enclosure for this purpose

Yeah exactly this. Can't give an accurate food review if you can't eat it immediately as presented. And if one-sided phone calls in restaurants weren't bad enough presenting loudly to a camera would likely get you walked out.

But then again. If I'm buying take-away from a restaurant, I'd prefer the review to be as close to my experience as possible. So I'd rather they had to drive 10-15 minutes and review a slightly colder product.
