According to a study, UK parents spend three hours a week driving their children around, which annually equates to an extra 1,648 miles, but the ŠKoda Parent Taxi app will finally allow parents to receive payments for their "taxi services."
The ŠKoda Parent Taxi App will allow parents to ask for chores to be completed in lieu of a fiscal payment. The app functions just as a standard taxi or rideshare meter would -- by tracking the car miles via GPS. This is then converted into various chores, including doing the dishes, cleaning their bedroom, or mowing the lawn. This is then sent as a "receipt" to the passenger.
While the chore payment is not legally binding, it's an efficient way for parents to manage expectations and prompt children to complete their chores.
