Some places should stay private
Home, work, a regular parking spot, or a family address can reveal more than a person intends to share. During a drive, exact location may be useful. Near private places, it can be too much.
Safe Zones are designed for that boundary. They help hide exact location around saved places so live sharing does not casually expose where someone lives, works, or parks.
Privacy controls should be part of the drive
Location privacy should not be hidden in a settings maze. People need obvious controls while they use the app: pause sharing, leave a convoy, remove a friend, and change device location permissions when needed.
Convoy treats those controls as part of drive coordination, not as a separate afterthought.
Friend-only sharing reduces exposure
Public location broadcasting creates risk. For most drives, the right audience is much smaller: accepted friends, a selected group, or the members of a specific convoy. Sharing should match the actual drive, then end when the drive no longer needs it.
Good privacy makes live location more useful
When people trust the controls, they are more comfortable using live location for the moments when it helps: finding the group, checking who is nearby, seeing route context, or coordinating arrivals.
The goal is not more sharing. The goal is the right sharing, with a clear way to stop.
