Project 1: Safe Drive

Context

when? where? who? why?

Car-sharing has profoundly changed our relationship with the automobile. It makes it possible to reduce the consumption of vehicles, to have an easier, permanent and cheaper access, by sharing them via a system of free access connected to terminals. Above all, this system makes it possible to preserve the driver's autonomy.

Well, from now on, the car would no longer need you: you would always be alone on board, but without driving!

The autonomous car-sharing car would allow people to move around in complete safety. It would also become a solution for people suffering from insecurity at the idea of taking public transport, or being alone on board a taxi or uber.

Safe Drive will pick you up at your location and take you home safely!

Target

for whom?

This new car rental system is intended for all persons holding a B licence and wishing to travel from point A to point B in complete safety.

This autonomous system could in particular be intended for all people for whom the use of public transport is difficult, but also for people who do not feel safe there, such as in taxis for example, the uber, where we sometimes find ourselves alone with a driver. This can therefore include people with reduced mobility, women and the elderly.

But also safe rent can simply allow drivers who are a little too drunk to be able to return home safely without having to take the wheel!

Service offered

what? how?

The safe rent service would consist of a fleet of cars located throughout the city connected to fixed terminals with assigned spaces. A specific number of cars would be available.

These cars will be geolocatable and people wishing to rent one of these cars will only have to download an application in which they will have a map of all the cars available, with what remaining autonomy and where.

The system will be equipped with an autonomous means of communication between the car and the telephone: the user will therefore not need to enter his locality but simply the address of his destination.

And here comes the car!

Identity

describe the universe around your service by creating a mood board and name your service accordingly

Benchmark

List concurrents / relative projects and describe how they relate/differentiate to your project

Bluely (Lyon): car-sharing electric car rental service. These cars are also connected to fixed bollards at the allocated places. Obligation to have a car licence as a non-autonomous car, unlike Safe Drive.
Ubeeqo (Paris): rental of thermal, hybrid or electric cars. Cars connected to terminals with allocated places.
Communauto (Paris and Canada): thermal cars. Cars connected to terminals with allocated seats.
Tesla Ride Sharing: provision of Tesla autonomous cars by private individuals to other users.

Project 2: Car-Loc

Context

when? where? who? why?

Nowadays, many students have a car and don’t use it every day. Many others students don’t have a car but could be willing to rent one every now and then, if only they had the financial means to do so. The project « car-loc » is an application that enable these student to put themselves in contact and to share a car and bear its costs together for a certain amount of time.

Target

for whom?

This application is thought for students, but could also be used by adults or senior citizens that use their car very rarely and prefer to share it. It enable the owner of the car to discharge himself of an important part of the costs linked with the car (the insurance, the parking and oil costs…)

Service offered

what? how?

The application car-loc would enable students to gather and share a car for a certain amount of time. Using gor example geolocalisation, 4 or 5 people could meet up to decide to share a car. Every user would fill in a calendar with the different time slot during which he needs the car. Every cost would be calculated in correlation with the duration of utilisation of each user.

Before anything, any new user will have to would have to enter his personal information : First name, last name, birth date, address (for the application to be able to find other users near him), phone number, a picture of his driving licence and his bank account details.

If the user is the owner of a car, he will have to indicate all legal information concerning his vehicule, and specify the period of time during which he is willing to share his car.

If the user wants to rent a car, he will also have to specify the time period during which he needs the car, and his estimated frequence of use of the car.
