Urban public transportation will become increasingly crowded and unsustainable in the future that will result in an increased dependency on ride-hailing corporations like Uber and Lyft to handle transportation needs of the common people. As importance of ride-hailing services grow, concerns related to exploitation of drivers and riders will grow with it as these corporations keep taking cut off driver’s fee, impose surcharges and boost their profits by violating privacy rights of its users. Not to mention the many locations where these corporations refuse to offer their services for some reason or other. Here comes the need of an autonomous ride-hailing service that nobody controls but the people who use it. A service that is available everywhere and at all times. And a service that is so easy and intuitive to use that everyone can use it. Keen is a response to needs of the users.
Keen is an open source project to build an autonomous ride-hailing platform, its unique value proposition is complete decentralization, user friendliness and global availability. Keen is the modern solution to the greed and bullying of large ride sharing corporations like Uber, Lyft and Didi Chuxing. It is the next evolution of ride sharing and advances in a true libertarian spirit of decentralized blockchains. Governance is run by its community of riders and drivers with reputation algorithms helping it to exist and adapt autonomously.
Several issues are tackled with this solution which seeks to find its niche among the ever growing demand for urban ride hailing that will become a $230 billion industry by 2030. Given the recent stories in media, there is no doubt that a platform like this is a necessity to bring an end to this dinosaur era of ride sharing and usher in a new era where the power is in the hands of the community.
Greta Ico overall, whitepaper is quite detailed, I've spoken to the team so I could verify they are a real team, but they should still verify with KYC on Ico bench.
