There are a number of applications technology, which the company is already considering. Companies hire cars can use the system to move the vehicles parked. Services sharing cars can distribute traffic to the required area. Inviting elderly parents on holiday, you are able to bring them to their cars or hire for this company.
It's time to wait for the sequel to "Gone in 60 Seconds," in which Nicolas Cage is at home on the couch and steals 50 cars.
