In that case you'd indicate you need the same car on your return from Home Depot, and have to wait a while for it to show up from the parking lot, whilst people who don't need a specific car just grab the first one in the waiting area outside.

And that's really the most important part." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4T2GmGSNvaM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4T2GmGSNvaM
- obsurveyor 11y ago"When your reservation is over or you are finished with the vehicle, please place this key-like device into steering column where the traditional key would." A manual lockout would be a smart thing here. There's all kinds of solutions to the "computers are dumb" problem.
- aninhumer 11y agoI feel like a simpler solution would just be to store anything left in the boot when the car returns to the depot, and put it back in your next car. There could also be a safe for security and privacy. It's slightly less flexible, but for most cases it's much more efficient. I also think it's slightly less error prone, as there's no user input required, and since the stuff gets removed from the car, it's much less likely that anything will end up being sent to another user. At worst, they forget to put your stuff back automatically, and it's relatively easy for them to send another car, or even send your stuff to your house. Indeed, that might even be a service people are interested in if they're doing a lot of shopping, or they take public transport for part of their journey.
