The most ambitious application of blockchain technology to the transportation, security, and avaiation sectors, starting first with ride-hailing services. In essence, RideNodes™ are a virtual currency and smart contract apparatus that aims to realign the interests of Drivers, Riders, & Service Coordinators (collectively referred to as our network participants) who already utilize ride-hailing services (such as Uber, Lyft, Via, and even traditional taxi & limousine companies), by providing a superior platform not limited to logistics, payments, credential verification, incident responses, and a special emphasis on safety and security for BOTH the riders and drivers.
