The project appears to be a legitimate but dormant or low-traction B2B SaaS platform for chauffeur companies, evidenced by listings on Crozdesk and a 'Backseatz EC Driver' app on Google Play. However, the submission is critically flawed: it contains egregious false claims (e.g., 'most people have used my product' vs. actual 100+ app downloads), uses nonsensical financial metrics ('all time marketcap: 500000'), and lacks technical detail. The discrepancy between the 2016 launch date and negligible current adoption indicates a stalled venture.
