CarTaxi ICO Review
After a highly successful pre sale the CarTaxi ICO is starting today.
What is CarTaxi?
Its a new logistic platform running on the blockchain. Found online at https://cartaxi.io the new project is designed to be an automated service for tow trucks to transport cars.
CarTaxi already has a working product that's been tested in Russia and is now looking to go global with the funds raised from the ICO.
What's the problem with the current market
Most people will need their car to be towed at some point in their life for many reasons: breaking down, running out of gas, having an accident or just moving your car to a new home.
The market is already developed in urban areas with a high percentage of homeowners. CarTaxi is aiming to change the towing business the same way that Uber has done to the taxi business. Currently all around the world the towing business is still based on old methods.
CarTaxi already have offices in San Antonio, Hong Kong and Moscow. They're already starting to change the towing industry but their goal is to target the global market and set up a decentralized platform for towing transactions to take place on the blockchain.
What's the Solution?
CarTaxi is planning on combining geolocation with blockchain technology and putting it together into a simple to use app similar to what Uber has done with the taxi industry.
How will this work?
A Geolocation model: Owners of different tow truck companies from different areas around the world will be connected to the CarTaxi service. This will mean that at any place in the world they'll be ready to come and help the client. Meaning that the client will receive a low cost and fast service.
Blockchain technology: The new platform will use blockchain technology based on smart contracts using Ethereum. Payments will be made using these smart contracts, making it an ideal way to quickly and securely send payment between the client and the service provider.
Safety of your vehicles: Using smart contracts you'll be able to track the progress of your vehicle on the CarTaxi app. CarTaxi will also guarantee your vehicles safety with an insurance fund.
How big is the target market?
The US towing industry is estimated to be worth 6 billion dollars with an annual growth of 2.5%. China's market, where CarTaxi is being introduced is estimated to be worth nearly double at $9.6 billion and growing much faster.
Business model
The platform will be monetized through commission being charged to tow truck services ranging from 10-20% of the sale price depending on the region.
Currently in Russia where the service is already running a 15% fee is being charged with the same plan finalized for the US and Chinese market.

Conclusion

Does this need to be on the blockchain? Does it need its own currency / tokens?
Well, no. Probably not.
Thats what its all about, if the blockchain can bring us something new. I hate this kind of companies, that try to raise cheap money just by saying that they will use blockchain technology.
I will use blockchain technology for my Lemonade business. It will be amazing, you can know my business hours and always see when and where you purchased some lemonade. LEMS pre-ICO is almost sold out, run!
