I think the issue is one of people taking care of a shared vehicle, and having it be clean when you want to use it. I've seen some disgusting cars.

- gcr 10y agoI don't think I buy that. The same argument can be said for any physical good. Sure, some people mistreat library books. But most of the books in the library are in reasonable condition because most folks respect the value that the library creates. We could perhaps create a system where the driver could rate the car's previous condition, which would be reflected on the score of the previous driver. That way, there's an incentive to leave the car in better condition than you found it.
- Heliosmaster 10y agoI agree: it's surprising what happens when you give people freedom and responsibility. There are some bad apples here and there, but mostly good things happen :) In a sense, what you suggested happens already with rental cars: when you get one, you have to make sure to write down (and take pictures) of all the defects / bumps, otherwise they might be deemed new and your fault. Something similar could easily happen, even though what I was envisioning was more of a friendly and colloquial environment.
