Second Proposal

User Group: The people who download Park will be able to have satellite navigate free spaces for them to park their cars. Age range varies by state. Example in NYC 16+

Design Problem: Everyday people are spending time looking for parking. Finding a parking spot can become so time consuming it can take up hours of your day leaving you frustrated and late for whatever it is you need to do. Downloading the app Park allows Satellite to search for open parking spots around your destination. Also, as a plus, if any other users have the app downloaded, you will be able to see them pulling out of parking spots giving you a heads up.

Motivation: The motivation and drive behind creating the app Park simply comes from not wanting people to waste time. People should be able to go to work, an appointment, or a restaurant on time without having to circle several times around the block looking for parking, or just missing an open spot.

Solution: The solution would be that having the app Park which navigates open parking spaces for you allows you to see open spaces to pull into rather than looking on your own. Also the app senses when another car who has Park downloaded is pulling out.

Outcome: Millions of people across the United States drive every single day. Downloading Park will allow people to rid themselves of the tedious task of finding a parking spot. And if you are on standby with no parking the app allows you to see others with Park downloaded pulling out in your destination area.
