Charging Children for Rides

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Dad's Cab Meter

— August 29, 2008 — Tech
Thank goodness I am so past the stage of running kids all over hell's half acre for extra curricular activities. I'm not so sure mom's will appreciate the name Dad's Cab, so the company has a "Mum's" version and "Family" version, but they will certainly love the concept.

Attach the gadget to the minivan every time the kids pile in. When the running is done, you hand over a card that says "you owe me a beer" or "mow the lawn" or "you must attend one meal without texting." This is ingenious!
Trend Themes
1. Monetized Parental Transportation - Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop apps or services that allow parents to charge their children for rides to incentivize responsibility and independence.
2. Personalized In-car Payment Systems - Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create devices or platforms that allow for convenient and customized payment methods within vehicles, such as integrating with ride-hailing apps or linking to digital wallets.
3. Gamified Parenting Solutions - Disruptive innovation opportunity: Design gamified systems or apps that make parenting more engaging and interactive, encouraging children to take responsibility for their activities through rewards or penalties.
Industry Implications
1. Transportation Services - Disruptive innovation opportunity: Offer specialized ride-hailing or transportation services specifically aimed at parents and children, providing added convenience and monetization opportunities.
2. Mobile Payment Solutions - Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop mobile payment technologies or platforms that cater to specific in-car transactions, enabling seamless and personalized payments for various services.
3. Parenting Technology - Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create technology-driven solutions or apps that assist parents in managing their children's activities, promoting responsibility and financial literacy throughout their daily routines.
