Driveway Parking Apps

This Parking App Lets Drivers Rent Out Unused Driveway Parking Spots

— August 10, 2016 — Autos
While there are undoubtedly lots of different parking apps out there, most of them tend to focus on big parking lots rather than the sorts of driveway parking spots that a lot of people use in different urban locales. This is where the Spotter app comes in.

Developed by a pair of computer science students working out Brown University, this innovative parking app is designed to help homeowners rent out driveways that may sit unused when they're away at work for the day, or even out of town on vacation. The app makes it possible for drivers to navigate to their assigned driveway, and charges them a dollar per hour for the parking spot.

Currently only available to people in Providence, Rhode Island, this ingenious parking app is set to be rolled out elsewhere, and will appeal to homeowners looking to earn some extra cash as well as drivers looking for parking spots.


Trend Themes
1. Driveway Parking Apps - Spotter app allows homeowners to rent out unused driveway parking spots, disrupting the traditional parking industry.
2. Peer-to-peer Parking - Spotter app enables homeowners to monetize their unused driveway spaces, creating a disruptive innovation in the sharing economy.
3. Mobile Navigation for Residential Parking - Spotter app provides drivers with a convenient way to locate and pay for driveway parking, revolutionizing the way people find parking in urban areas.
Industry Implications
1. Sharing Economy - Spotter app taps into the sharing economy by connecting homeowners with drivers in need of parking, offering a disruptive solution for monetizing idle driveway spaces.
2. Mobile Applications - Spotter app exemplifies the potential of mobile apps to transform the way people navigate and pay for parking, presenting disruptive opportunities for tech companies in the parking industry.
3. Residential Real Estate - Spotter app introduces a new revenue stream for homeowners by allowing them to rent out their driveways, presenting disruptive opportunities for the residential real estate industry.
