>>Makes economical sense, but I could not get myself to participate with my cars, as return is small unless car is used heavily by others. Perhaps will enter 2nd car (small station wagon with only slightly above median HP) in the future.

We have not only pure car-self-owning companies like car2go, which is a branch car making industry is very interested in, as the discounts given to Hertz et al. are not really welcome and Hertz et al. have a big influence on used car prices of newer models.

There is also Deutsche Bahn trying to lure flight passengers and also hoping to get some to switch from self-driving between big cities.

The AirBnB-similar approach of owners meeting renters should level the market (at least insurance problems are out of the way), but the other avenues seem to grow faster at the moment.
