Basics

A system of Car Rental / Community Ownership, where rather than each person having a car, they use it when needed
Can be especially relevant for non-routine use (ie the area is Walkable / public transit is available for some things, but a car may be needed for longer trips), or for specialty vehicles ( (mini-)vans for people, or cargo vans or pickup trucks/flatbeds for cargo)
Thus each person essentially has a fleet of cars for them to use!
There are many services, but two main "categories/types" of sorts
- Fixed Location(s)
- Peer to Peer (Just park it, and leave it for the next person to pick up)
They are also usually managed/interacted with online via a website and/or app
