On long trips, there may be one or more Hertz locations near your route. If all of them stock electric cars, Hertz could offer a premium offering where you change cars along the way...

- beamatronic 5y agoSyncing your driving prefs to your phone or to the cloud would be very interesting. Show the car a QR code as you walk up to it?
- eclipxe 5y agoYour keycard / phone key can store your driver profile id that the car then uses to fetch the settings from the cloud. No QR code needed.

- btgeekboy 5y agoOther than the loading/unloading of stuff, the rest of these can be handled with some code. Consider the tech stack of the average Tesla, including how they're always connected to the internet already. Tie the settings to your key in the cloud, and then create a UI to move key 123 from car 456 to car 789.
- AtlasBarfed 5y agoIf Hertz offers up their locations as supercharger locations... that's a LOT of locations to add to the supercharger network with a willing partner to help finance it and maintain it. Kind of like how the dealer networks, which SHOULD be a massive advantage for Ford/GM to place chargers (and shadow market cars) and build out a huge charging network... well, that's not happening because dealers hate EVs.
