That's a cool idea of crowdsourcing peak times. You sign up to get texts when people are willing to pay for rides above a certain threshold and then just drive your car out to pick them up.
I'd use it (and possibly do it, although hard to say and it'd have to be for a ridiculous amount of money ~100+ range/trip).

There would need to be a reputation component like airbnb; otherwise, you would run the risk of shady people picking you up knowing that you have >= $x dollars on you and steal it.
