I wanted to reply to your response to me, but... > What oversight mechanism can possibly protect users from themselves? The idea isn't, to me at least, to protect users from themselves, but to restrict the ways that companies can use/distribute data collected from the user. Personally (and I obviously haven't thought this through/deeply in the last 10 minutes or so), I think something like HIPAA for transportation information might be appropriate. It would apply not specifically to Uber, but to any kind of transportation data collected by any company (say, self-driving cars, public transportation, taxi companies, etc.) and would place restrictions on how they can distribute or publicize that data and what kind of permissions they would need from whom.
