Find Parking Space

Looking for a parking space is never easy in large cities. Ultimately, the outcome is that people waste valuable time looking for a place to park. Fortunately, technology may help us in this challenge as magnetometers are able to detect whether a car is parked near it. Those magnetometers would be connected to a network, which would mean that drivers would be able to find parking space by accessing their phone, as they would have a sort of map that would let them know which parking spaces are not taken. The idea is great and it is going to be implemented in some cities in United States. However, I do not think that this will reduce traffic congestion, as it will make driving a car even more desirable.
