"In January, NACTO quietly rolled out a data-sharing project called SharedStreets. And last week, it landed a very important private sector partner, in Uber. The ride-hail company has started using the project as an intermediary, to share sensitive pick-up and drop-off data for Washington, DC."

    Interesting, I wonder if cities will designate certain curb spots solely for rideshares, other curb spots for taxis, etc. Segregation of the transport services.

      This is definitely in the talks, something some cities want to do. Personally I do not see this working.

      I know, I was really surprised to read this article as well. Must have been some kind of secret deal. We will let you keep operating in our city but you give us your data...
