It makes total sense, there are the obvious concerns about abuse, people leaving cars dirty inside, smoking in them, but in reality BMW will no doubt have cameras and other forms of sensors and I’m sure anyone abusing the membership system will quickly find an debit on their credit card and the door will fail to open next time they want to use them. This is a great concept and it appears there are sufficient users to make it pay, for the DriveNow company, BMW and for the city to provide EV parking spots. With 50,000 registered users, if I read that right, this can have a significant beneficial impact to urban traffic congestion.
