General Motors and Visa are coming together to simplify and improve the world around the driving experience. Buying goods and services directly from or adjacent to the car is something consumers have come to expect. More than half of US consumers currently use a mobile phone or tablet to order ahead and pay for things as part of their commute. There is opportunity to develop innovative solutions that make this process more efficient.

IoT and connected cars are changing the way drivers get around. From picking up their morning coffee, to dropping coins into a parking meter, there is opportunity to develop innovative solutions that make this process more efficient for the driver, passengers, pedestrians, city planners and more. Pitch an idea, work to make it a reality, and you might leave with a 2018 Chevrolet Bolt EV!

Think about how you can include seamless payment experiences to solve problems like – the never-ending search for parking, waiting 30 minutes in a drive-thru, no time to drop off dry cleaning, kids, pets, to name a few. What innovations would improve these experiences?

Hidden value can be unlocked through data optimization and advanced analytics that monitor driving, payment and consumer behavior patterns. Using APIs from Visa Developer and GM Marketplace, build new and innovative solutions that improve the experience of drivers, passengers, shopkeepers, or city planners.
