freeride

Getting a 'FreeRide' vehicle would definitely be on the todo list and that would all come down to funding. I do hope to receive funding from bars/restaurants as well, however I don't want to require it. It is a great idea and something I will be considering as I determine the best location for the trial run!

I hopefully addressed the overnight car issue with my recent update. I have heard some places around here (Ocean City, MD) use the scooter idea, but it might be a little troublesome in rural areas where the travel distance is greater.

I can't wait for automated cars to be on the roads. Less accidents, less traffic, no parking issues, etc. The future is going to be great!

I've updated the proposal to address a few of the comments so far! I appreciate all the feedback!

That is a great article! Just imagine how many more people would choose not to drive if it were free! At least that is my hope!

This is exactly what I am looking for with feedback! Originally this was meant for a rural area where parking isn't usually an issue. However, my first thought to tackle this problem would be to actually have two drivers who ride together. If this situation comes up, the 2nd driver could drive their car home for a fee. This could help fund some of the costs as well. Lastly, this could help keep everyone safer and prevent some of the issues that arose with Uber.

I guess what I was going for was more of an option rather than a requirement. For instance, if a person who has been vetted by a professional and doesn't have an issue, they could do this instead of the interlock. The hope is that rather than helping one person not drink and drive, it would help many people not drink and drive. I agree that it sounds expensive. I am hoping to figure out other ways to receive funding.

I agree with this, however one issue is the cost of the interlock. It is about 80 bucks a month from what I can tell. Usually, the only people that I am aware of with the interlock are people that are receiving punishment. I hope to prevent someone getting into that situation to begin with! : )

I think the breathalyzers in the bars is great!
