- sjwright 8y agoHandy if you're buying multiple cars.
- awad 8y agoJust think of it as Uber Pool/Lyft Line wherein one car goes to your house, and another goes to someone else's house.
- MertsA 8y agoEh... Delivering multiple cars over a short distance by loading them up on a flatbed or car hauler just doesn't make any sense. Tow trucks will always be more expensive than calling a taxi. Especially given that this is basically a textbook example of the travelling salesman problem. And I don't mean computing a route is hard, I just mean that in practice while there's overlap between destinations for a sparse set of e.g. 10 destinations spread evenly over some area around a hub it's not like being able to go between destinations directly makes it 10x shorter. Trucks are expensive to maintain and operate, much more so than a regular passenger car. Trucks also can't deliver as easily or to as many places as a person driving it. If someone lives down a dead end road that's extremely inconvenient for the truck whereas it's a non-issue for someone driving. Car haulers don't make sense for sparse local deliveries.
- isostatic 8y agoHow many cars do you buy at the same time?!
