What would you do if you had a perfectly functional car sitting at your house, unused? You could do what Brian Scates did – he rented his car out to strangers via Getaround, a peer-to-peer (P2P) car sharing network in San Francisco, USA. Currently, there are 30 P2P car sharing networks globally. The advent of car sharing means fewer cars on the road which would result in less carbon emissions. And for the renter, the opportunity to maximize value out of the vehicle. Sounds like a win-win.
