I still don’t think this follows the proper interpretation of the law based on what happened.
Unless the Uber driver was directly involved in the conversation, he wasn’t a party, therefore he required consent which wasn’t achieved.
In Canada, this is made more clear. You absolutely cannot record a conversation that you are not directly involved in (you have to be a subject in the conversation).
All that is aside from the fact that you also cannot just share recordings of these conversations.
Here is a relevant article:

What’s key to remember here is that just because you are within earshot of a conversation does not mean you are free and clear of criminal liability. You have to be directly involved. You’re welcome to record people on video without sound, but you can only record conversations you are directly involved in.
