Under those circumstances your idea is awesome.
I would add a Feature where you can add recurring trips. For instance every Wednesday I will get groceries and if somebody also need a ride there he/she can join the ride.

Interesting idea, but I think you currently buildung an operation’s Plattform for a service that does not exist.
In europe there is something like BlaBla car wich is carpooling for already planned trips. Blabla car does cover it’s passengers with extra insurance, wich is in turn basically it’s service.
You have to grasp the jurisdiction problems. The driver need insurance and a way to get payed. This to its core is the principle of Uber. Somebody gets paid to drive you while Uber does the insurance and payment part as well as the Plattform.
What you could do is an open source platform that integrates all car pooling services and gives you the best option.
On the other hand you could partner up with a big insurance company and build an extra insurance for private car pooling and act as insurer and payment platform for a fixed fee.
Love the fact that 100km is “near”. You would be nearly in an other country in Europe.
But that’s just insane for a 110k city. I mean I get it, it’s Cali and has a coast. But 1.2m for a normal home is just borderline undoable.
Are prices in small towns also exploding?
Compared to North America, including Canada it’s s whole lot better. Even the expensive city’s are more “affordable” than anything I’ve ever seen from the posts about new York.
But never the less it is still expensive.
Does it really matter? I mean you can’t be faster than light, wich is around 300km/ms which we pretty much are. I see this more as a bandwidth type of improvement. In theory we could do 65ms around half the globe with a diffct fiber connection and about 900 trillion watts of energy but thats not really the use case I think.
A better improvement would be WiFi and 5g stability and latency. I loose more latency over WiFi than over my entire connection to any server I need.
