Daimler is launching “car2together”, a car pooling scheme incorporating social media.  The idea is people register, setup a profile and then share information about their journey – either an offer or a request for a lift.  Car2gether will then connect offers and riders together.

Clearly one of the main benefits of car2gether is knowing a bit more about who you are giving a lift to and avoiding characters like the hitcher-hiker below!
