Is there a lift locator app for cars (functioning on gps)

Scenario: Wifes new job passes by a convenient car park to pick up a worker in a country town along her route, (sometimes 2) both are country towns so get it out of your heads as to timely, cheap, regular & reliable public transport.
(there is, but it is none of the above)
A typical country worker without a car / salary to afford one as an "imported" care system worker from africa for example, involves a walk to a bus stop (often main station) to a train station, expensive train (one stop of some 10 miles) taxi there after ...rinse & repeat that & see how it affects a 12 hr shift & your wages.. connectivity is not cheap in the countryside, nor reliable.
The road on the last leg is a fast, obnoxiously driven death trap, risking premature loss of life if you tried to cycle.
With modern cars (such as tesla) with on the spot location as the norm, is there a "share location" which would be handy for those who you give lifts to for them to know you are on your way?
I know there are settings on tesla to give some limited access to your vehicle, but doubtful as to something like this which saves phone-calls, & assists travel reduction / emissions etc (& the potential to save a small pot of cash for someone on a meagre pay scale)
Minimal data scraping preferences obviously.
Wife doesn't like getting calls when driving (concentration & law) tracking a tesla is great for sticking the hot choc velvetiser on in advance, cooking supper timings etc, so is very handy.
A simple app that ties in your cars location for people who may regularly hop in en-route, or even a live "spare seat" live lift app? / one that works in a similar manner phone to phone, ..don't need anything sneaky location wise (stalking) a two way inputted code or something with names / picture security as a bit of profile / location security /anything close even exist ?

..that is a shame, as it is that degree of @rseholery data scraping I object to.
