Ideation

The architecture design was organized with the attempt on controlling privilige access rights on group-restricted rides.

Feedback

After some User Testing and Design Critiques, we discovered the following:

Many steps
Too confined
Complex
Wish to avoid account creation
Trusting a new app with personal info

Redesign

We replaced our account creation with Facebook's login api. Once logged in, the user's "going" events are parsed into their feed, and from there, they can view and offer rides. The initial design is changed to ingrain the group concept yet effectively maintaining rides within groups.

Simplifies steps to sign-in and sign-up
Trust issue with a new app
User account Control is interally managed by Facebook's group/event system
