Curious if theres any weakness in the granularity of the anonymized data to be able to reverse engineer specific houses/addresses in less populated areas?
@allany888 in most Australian cities and all suburban areas apartments are rare, so unless they fudge the radius of start and finish areas, I don't think it is that anonymous in such areas…
> How is Uber Movement preserving the privacy of Uber riders and drivers? Preserving rider and driver privacy is our #1 priority. All data is anonymized and aggregated to ensure no personally identifiable information or user behavior can be surfaced through the Movement tool.
Fortunately seems they don't provide pathways for individual journeys. Maybe they don't provide pathways at all?
This is brilliant. Especially for the cities Uber still is not in, such as all of New York State outside NYC. Great way to convince them of the added benefit of having Uber in their city.
This is exciting! Though the data will be open to general public in a few months only, we are looking forward to making our cities more efficient in terms of personal transport (no need to own a car now) and public transport too.
Brilliant.... but I have a question... I have go through their FAQs and found the following
=================
What are the licensing terms?
Movement makes all insights available under the Creative Commons, Attribution Non-Commercial license.

So that means that we cannot use these data or build a product around that, Am I correct?
I'd love to know how Uber will be spreading awareness of this with cities. Is this something they'll proactively promote, or just leave available for discovery? Because I doubt most city officials and planners are hanging out on Product Hunt, though I could be wrong :)
Good on Uber for sharing this. As someone with a little urban planning education information like this is incredibly valuable to planners. My question; will this be publically accessible?
