To be honest, there aren't many - but the one that jumps out is the shared ownership model - i.e. renting cars. I still believe that if someone has a rental, they won't treat it like their own, and therefore the whole model breaks down a little. Maybe some advanced telemetry is the answer? If a rental car offered money back at the end if you've driven it "well", then it would encourage people to treat it with more respect? We'd then see the same increases in efficiency (and therefore emissions etc) that we do with "owned" carsAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
