I was in an Uber that had front / back cameras. It also showed a top view of the car in real time. You could see other cars moving next to us. How is this done? The top view was too high to be a top mounted cam. My only explanation is that it takes the view from other cameras and creates a top view and the top view of the car is just a graphic with other data added. How does this work?

You got it. It has cameras with overlapping fields of view completely around the car. Some clever software combines all the cameras’ views into one panoramic shot with a top down perspective and just draws in a graphic of the car’s roof for position reference.
