Ever wish you could find a place to park in a busy city without driving aimlessly around to find a garage with available spots. Well a new app presently in the works may be your answer. Parking In Motion will tell you where you're most likely to actually find a parking place once you're at your destination. This mobile app, in its early stages now, is mostly a directory of parking lots and garages. Eventually, the app will do much more, according to co-founder Sam Friedman, he explains. First, it will show which lots or garages are full. This information can't come from users--it'd be too late to be useful. Parking In Motion is instead working with garage operators to collect this data on a broader scale. If Friedman can succeed with this implementation, he hopes to work with parking meter companies to implement available street parking as well. Sound to me like a very useful, however ambitious endeavor.
