• Abstract: With the exponential advancement of business technology in recent years, data-driven decision making has become the core of most industries. With the rise of new privacy regulations such as the General Data Protection Regulation in the European Union and the California Consumer Privacy Act in the United States, companies dealing with personal data had to conform to these changes and adapt their processes accordingly. This obviously included the transportation industry with their use of location data. At the other side of the spectrum, users still expect a form of personalization, without having to compromise on their privacy. For this reason, companies across the industries started applying privacy-enhancing or preserving technologies at scale in their products as a competitive advantage. In this paper, we describe how Federated Machine Learning can be applied to the transportation sector. We present use-cases for which Federated Learning is beneficial in transportation and the new product lifecycle that is required for using such a technology. We see Federated Learning as a method that enables us to process privacy-sensitive data, while respecting customer's privacy and one that guides us beyond privacy-regulations and into the world of ethical data-usage.

  Security measures such as anonymization are needed to protect individuals' privacy. Within our study, we conducted expert interviews to gain insights into practices in the field. We survey privacy-enhancing methods in use, which generally do not comply with state-of-the-art standards of differential privacy.

  Data with privacy concerns comes with stringent regulations that frequently prohibited data access and data sharing. Overcoming these obstacles is key for technological progress in many real-world application scenarios that involve privacy sensitive data. Differentially private (DP) data publishing provides a compelling solution, where only a sanitized form of the data is publicly released.

  We question whether the use of large Web-scraped datasets should be viewed as differential-privacy-preserving. We caution that publicizing these models pretrained on Web data as "private" could lead to harm and erode the public's trust in differential privacy as a meaningful definition of privacy. We conclude by discussing potential paths forward for the field of private learning, as public pretraining becomes more popular and powerful.

  We find that perception of privacy empowerment differs from that of sharing across dimensions of meaningfulness, competence and choice. We find similarities and differences in privacy method preference between the US, UK and Germany. By mapping the perception of privacy dis-empowerment into patterns of privacy behavior online, this paper provides an important foundation for future research.
