 ability to make positive contributions to the communities in which we operate. At the
core of our mission is helping emerging market populations make better use of underutilized and scare resources. We also provide our
Hosts with micro-entrepreneurship opportunities and have established an international community built on shared benefits and feedback.
Our business model is also inherently sustainability-focused, as we are demonstrating to our customers and other observers how smart
car sharing is a viable and scalable solution to reduce the total number of vehicles necessary to meet transportation needs.

    ●
    Community Impact. Our
    platform affords Hosts opportunities to independently generate income and establish small businesses. Further, becoming a Host requires
    relatively little time and effort and affords participants a certain level of autonomy and flexibility that resonates with individuals
    compared to more traditional ways to supplement household income. Additionally, given that most completed trips are relatively local
    and rarely international, the entrepreneurial opportunities we create generally result in income generated and spent largely locally,
    within Guests’ and Hosts’ own community or adjacent neighborhoods, thereby potentially further benefiting other local
    businesses.

    Mobility Access.
    A significant portion of our Guests do not own a personal car, which we believe reflects, among other factors, the space and financial
    constraints affecting urban residents of many urban markets. Our car sharing approach provides a more economical solution than vehicle
    ownership for people who only need, or can only afford to obtain, access to a car on a short-term or intermittent basis.

    ●
    Environmental Benefits.
    Traffic and air pollution are commonplace in many emerging markets and environmental conditions are expected to deteriorate further
    as population growth continues. Our fundamental proposition is to offer vehicle access to Guests who require it for a fixed, finite
    interval, which is inherently more efficient than a personal ownership model. A sharing model such as our platform, in which costs
    are directly correlated with utilization, discourages over-utilization of cars, thus reducing miles driven on a per capita basis.
    A 2017 study by Transport & Environment, a leading European clean transport campaign group, suggests that car sharing platforms
    may reduce the number of personal vehicles purchased by 5 to 15 cars per shared car in markets where car sharing becomes prevalent.
    Accordingly, based on the huge volume of Hosts registered on our Platform we believe that our platform could have an effect of reducing
    CO2 outputs.  . Additionally, should the proportion of electric vehicles
