People are already accustomed to creating, discovering and RSVPing to events on the social network. But Facebook’s event feature could soon get even more useful: The company is looking to help users share cars, or find a travel buddy, to get to those events.

2. What kind of customer incentives would Facebook need to employ in order for people to favor their ridesharing service over others?
