We had car2go here for awhile. On demand usage rental cars that used an app to find and drive the car, drop it off wherever you want in the operational area when done. The hourly rate was about $15 an hour.
You are just one more of the negative nancys that swoop in to poohpooh ideas that could undermine the one-car-per-person economic model for transportation economics.

If sufficient numbers of users and sharing vehicles/rides, then an algorithm should be able to coordinate the various user-destinations into braided trips, especially if riders and passengers can alternate and take over the driving when someone wants to exit the vehicle.
