In the same vein, I don't ride uber often but when I do I often find that drivers leave their windows closed and car's air circulation turned off completely. When I ask for "a bit of airflow" they apparently hear it as "I'm too hot", so they turn AC to maximum power.

I'm not sure whether this reflects their own preferences, what they think customers want, or if they are just completely oblivious.

I have never had trouble cracking open the window on my own. Do you not try?

The child safety disable is often turned on for backseat windows.

Don't be too timid to tell them what you want. If they turn out the AC to max instead, just say "Sorry, I'm not hot I just want some fresh air."
