Kicking it into fifth gear and zooming out of stealth and into the public sphere today is Wheelz, a new person-to-person car sharing platform for campuses -- designed to connect students who have cars with student who need 'em. Granted, when I first heard the basics on Wheelz, I immediately thought, "gadzooks, another car sharing platform!?" What about RelayRides, GetAround, Zimride, and Zipcar? These are all by and large great young businesses, adding value to the space; sure they're not all targeting campuses, but I wasn't so sure we needed another one.Whether you feel the same way or not, Wheelz begs to differ. Launching initially at Stanford University, the startup is bringing campuses a technology and service platform that allows students and other campus dwellers to connect safely and easily -- through Facebook integration, a good-looking iPhone app, and its proprietary in-car hardware system, called DriveBox.
