I genuinely do not believe this. If they intended on making anonymized data open, they wouldn't have a marketing site up already.

1. Privacy
2. Google doesn't have the same incentive to release data to local governments as Uber does (to improve regulatory relationships).

#10How does Uber anonymize the data? Does it only use subset of a trip? If you can see where and when a trip started or finished, it's definitely not anonymous enough.
