Introduction

Plus One Auto has been developed to address the traffic, parking, and environmental problems occurring in cities all over the globe. Beijing was chosen as the launch city as it has some of the worst traffic and pollution in the world. If a system could be developed to solve the big problems in Beijing, it could scaled down and adopted to smaller cities.

Solution

A car sharing system that:

• Uses a vehicle that only takes up half a parking spot.
• Smartphone app to quickly find the nearest pickup and dropoff point.
• Provides charging stations in major parking centers.
