If the city wants to contract with Uber (or FedEx or UPS or...) to do pavement management surveys, that could be an interesting conversation. But that's not what the city is asking for or has proposed. Instead of imagining uses for their data, let's realize it's their data that we have individually given them and we may not want the city - any city - to have. Remember Uber's (terrible) "Rides of Glory" post describing how they could detect hooksups - http://www.whosdrivingyou.org/blog/ubers-deleted-rides-of-glory-blog-post http://www.whosdrivingyou.org/blog/ubers-deleted-rides-of-gl... ? Now imagine that in your local government's hands.
