I have to be somewhat careful playing in the automotive space since I used to work for a company that was in that space.

Luckily, getting automotive data is fairly simple as there are a few companies that provide it and images (and dealer inventory too) for a fee (of course).

I've thought about having a list of "popular vehicles" like Prius, TDI Jetta/Beetle, Mini Cooper, Honda Civic, Yaris, Smart Car, etc in a pull down that will prepopulate the vehicle data.

Also, I've been ruminating about a better ridesharing/carpooling site/app and this would be a good driver to it.

Timely ideas.

I was wondering if you could license it to others (Edmunds, etc.) but I guess it depends on them. Maybe with your industry experience you know something about that.

Anyway, good luck!
