Autowalla - An auto pickup app

I recently spent a month in India and noticed an issue with the way rideshare apps work there. Unlike in many other parts of the world there are large fleets of independent drivers with tiny taxi's called Autos who will constantly approach you on the street. You may want a ride, but you don't want to lose the safety benefits of a taxi app (or argue with them over the fare)

This app would allow you to select a destination and display it to any auto driver who approaches you on the street, and if they accept the ride and scan the generated QR code it would begin the trip just like any other rideshare app. No waiting around for an Uber or Ola driver who may or may not even show up, but you still get the advantages of safety and not being forced to haggle.
