Jean-Pierre Hubaux, from the Computer Communications and Applications Laboratory 1, discusses a software system: ORide, designed to make possible all the features of a ridesharing service while dramatically minimizing the location data it collects in WIRED. The system makes it impossible for an attacker, an eavesdropper, or the ridesharing service itself to make use of the location data that goes beyond the function of the service.
