Researchers in Germany are making hitch hiking much easier with Open Ride, a program that matches drivers with passengers and vice-versa. "A server tracks the vehicle's current location and scans for ride requests.
If the software finds a match, the driver is notified and has the option of picking up passengers en route." To ensure safety, hitchhikers can rate drivers.
Open Ride should be released sometime in 2010.
