Since you can search online to check the weather before going outside, why not find a parking spot, too? That’s what 32-year-old Andrew Rollert was thinking when he started spotscout.com out of Cambridge, Mass. “I am hoping this will kill off the expression ‘looking for parking,’ altogether,” he says.

You’ll be able to look for a spot before you even get in your car, by computer or any cell phone with Internet access.

SpotScout will serve as a kind of eBay for parking spots: Creating an online marketplace where people can trade information about available parking places and even rent out their own driveways.

Rollert hopes the market will come from private property owners who want to lease driveways for a few hours, or local garages that will list empty spaces at any given time, and people who own spaces they don’t use during vacations.
