Near for All: Clustering-Based Privacy-Preserving Meetings for Human–Autonomous Vehicle Ecosystems
摘要
Location-based services are widely used by both humans and autonomous vehicles in their daily operations. Envisioning an ecosystem where humans and autonomous vehicles collaborate, we extend Near-a social platform that enables user interaction while preserving privacy-to support physical interactions between human users and autonomous vehicles without disclosing precise locations. To achieve this, Near for All introduces new services and employs a clustering-based approach to recommend suitable meeting locations. Furthermore, we conduct a rigorous experimental evaluation that highlights the privacy and performance properties of our framework and demonstrates that the proposed clustering methodology effectively supports this functionality.
