I could see this turning into a tool that allows parking garages to sell spaces in advanced. If I'm already downtown it's unlikely that I'm going to think to pull up my phone to find a spot that will probably get taken before I get there. (I would be more likely to use a satnav system to find a parking spot, but the problem of the spot being taken in the meantime still exists). Using the same technology, but for parking garages to sell in advanced (think fandango or stub hub for parking) would eliminate the only remaining issue. You could even use an auction format for the prices (garages will like this) so that when parking for major events is sold, the prices reflect the demand for the spaces.
