Would You Use an On-Demand Designated Driver for You and Your Car?

I’m exploring the feasibility of an on-demand designated driver service aimed at solving a common dilemma: what happens to your car when you decide to enjoy a drink or two? Instead of leaving your vehicle behind or risking hefty fines, this service would send a driver on an electric scooter to your location, allowing them to drive you and your car home safely.

I’d love to hear the Hacker News community’s thoughts on this concept:

- Is this a service you’d consider using? - What would you expect in terms of pricing? (Flat fee, distance-based, hourly?) - What challenges or opportunities do you see in scaling a service like this?

Here’s a quick rundown of the idea:

- Drivers arrive at your location via electric scooter or electric bike. - They stow their scooter in your car and drive you to your destination. - Once you’re home, they use the scooter to get to their next assignment.

Preliminary Pricing Ideas: - Base Fee: $10–15 - Additional Charges: $1–2 per kilometer OR $10–15 per hour - We’re considering a pilot launch in cities where alcohol-related driving laws are strict, like Montevideo or Santiago, but I’d love to hear if this idea resonates with a broader audience.

In China, services like this are quite popular, but I would love to have a broad insights.

Looking forward to your insights and feedback!
