In my experience carpooling is becoming more and more viable and popular in Europe, in the past few years I traveled almost exclusively in this way. Between major cities in western Europe you can almost always find rides on websites (being slightly flexible on the time). In eastern Europe you can still safely hitchhike on the roadside (if weather is good). I like both modalities and when I happen to drive a car I always take passengers as well.
