About

pretty sure this was "rachel's idea", but, she ghosted, so oh-well

  • $14.95/mo base fee, $5/mo extra for additional children, each ride is an extra charge that the driver keeps (why not take a portion of each drive?)
  • GPS cameras hardwired to the cars and connected to the app (cobra, nexar, Dride, Zendu)
  • All drivers have to pass extensive background checks (see: certn, clearchecks)
  • Parents have access to the GPS camera at all times during the ride (this is challenging but can be done. Most cameras have cloud storage and an app or website where fleets can be monitored, this is a fleet; however, the prices are not economical. Might have to implement own cloud and viewing services)
  • The videos are saved and archived with a unique number to specify the driver, rider, and date and time in a database (the typical cloud service provided by camera providers to no seem to provide this level of control; another point for implementing custom cloud storage services)
  • Rides have to be approved by parent children cannot ride without approval from parent (may be able to lean on Bitcoin or Zcash multi-sig which means before a transaction is approved onto the blockchain, multiple approvers are needed)
  • No using other ride-share rides at the same time. No other adults allowed in the vehicle. (use computer vision [CV] to analyze video/stills periodically on each ride which can do a head count)
  • Rides cannot exceed 1 hour.
  • After business is up and running and successful, contact government programs to get them to fund rides for lower income families. (probably better to get government programs on board early rather than late ... they may be able to help source customers or at least provide some exposure to clientele, especially if they are internally excited about the program)
  • Drivers must have a vehicle that is 10yr old or less, vehicles must have at least 4 doors, proof of registration and insurance must be provided.
