Claim 7:
8. A method for monitoring rides in a vehicle, the method comprising:
capturing, with at least one sensor arranged in the vehicle, sensor data during a ride in which a driver of the vehicle picks up a rider at a pickup location and drives the rider to a drop-off destination;
receiving position data of the vehicle during the rides from a global navigation satellite system receiver;
receiving, via a first transceiver that is arranged in the vehicle, a ride identifier from a personal electronic device of the driver of the vehicle, the ride identifier uniquely identifying the ride, the first transceiver being communicatively paired directly with the personal electronic device;
storing the sensor data captured during the ride in a plurality of data chunks, the ride identifier being stored in metadata of the sensor data captured during the ride, the position data of the vehicle during the ride being stored in the metadata of the sensor data captured during the ride, each data chunk storing a subset of the metadata and a subset of the sensor data corresponding to a particular interval of time during the ride;
encrypting a first portion of the metadata in each data chunk of the plurality of data chunks using a different encryption key for each data chunk, the first portion of the metadata including the position data of the vehicle during the ride; and
wherein a second portion of the metadata in each data chunk of the plurality of data chunks is stored in an unencrypted form, the second portion of the metadata including the ride identifier.
