These slides use ideas from my (Jeff Funk) class to develop a business model for ZipCar. Users can rent ZipCar vehicles using their mobile phones; they simply search for the closest vehicle and then find the vehicle in a prescribed parking space using GPS. This enables them to find vehicles faster than current methods. Zip Car targets people who want to use a vehicle for more than a single taxi trip and who do not live near the rental agency offices.
