    The idea is that drivers would have their device displaying a sign indicating hitchhikers going in the same direction.
    Each driver and each hitchhiker will be rated on its previous interactions so as to reduce the risk variable of this practice.
    The advantage for the driver is to enjoy a conversation during his trip, to have an unexpected experience.
    I Believe that not only the practice of hitchhiking can empower social interaction but that it is a beautiful and efficient tool to overcome traffic jams.
    Having people "giving for free" is a rewarding system for their conscience, intrinsically people are happy to help one another.
    Not to mention the environmental friendly dimension of the project.
    Also, this could be a way to extend Waze's community to people who do not yet possess a car.
    If I am confident that this model can and will work in the future, it is because by the time I reached my 25th birthday this year, I traveled more than 33 000 km by hitchhiking.
