Find your parking space before you park

Here’s a nifty idea from a startup in Chicago. Their software/interface allows you to search for a parking spot before you get there. They also have plans to act as a clearinghouse for parking spaces for those looking to rent/lease/buy/sell a more permanent place.

Of course, I have no idea what happens if the space you’ve found is taken by some random person who chose to spend their time looking for an actual available space in real time instead…. but presumably that’s outside the purview of the ParkWhiz people.
