Airbnb knows exactly what they're doing and will comply with regulation only if it needs to:

You'll see different rates on different pages on EU, Australia (where drip pricing is illegal) and USA versions of the site for the same property.

This is what Danielle Fong at Lightsail has been doing since 2009. They've had investment from Bill Gates and Peter Thiel. They've developed a way to compress and decompress air efficiently by heating/cooling the air. by using a carbon fibre air canister they are able to store air at a much higher pressure than previously possible.

Her Ted Talk[1] and their website[2] explains it much better than I do.

Commonwealth Bank in Australia does something like that. They have a feature in their iOS/Android app that lets you withdraw cash without a card. It generates a code on the phone and also sends you a 4 digit code via sms. Then you enter both codes to their nearest atm. Good for when you've forgotten your card or the atm looks dodhy.
TomTom will actually do this. You can specify that you want to go to a gas station along your route and it will list all of them and the detour distance required. Unfortunately TomTom makes you pay for live traffic data.
