The New Science of Parking: Round 2

If the announcement of new automated parking systems wet your appetite, consider this tidbit to be another appetizer. Recently announced, startup venture Spot Scout Inc., is planning on revolutionizing the way we locate and pay for municipal parking spots. Currently in the venture capitol stages, the service aims to unite car owners and lot managers via a seemless online interface. Parking lots would post locations of available spots on the Spot Scout website, with prospective parkers able to log in, post their departure/arrival time, bid on parking spots, and pre-pay for slots that they plan on using within a specific time-frame. Thus eliminating the aggravation of having to actually search for a place to park your vehicle. No word on launch date, or participation fees (if any). Would any of you actually use such a service?
