An uber driver that can drive 24/7. Also there are a lot of cars that sit in parking lots 95% of the day that can be used.

An uber driver that can drive 24/7. Also there are a lot of cars that sit in parking lots 95% of the day that can be used.
The parking lot problem is way far off though, and efforts like Zipcar attacked the utilization problem but have not seen wide adoption
Parking lot problem is also demand problem. Demand is not sufficiently elastic. How many people would be happy have their commute car available on one day maybe at 6 and then next on 10 or 11 or 12...
