General Motors (GM) is to launch a peer-to-peer car sharing service in Michigan, Detroit and Ann Arbor, Chicago through its Maven brand. The Maven app will be available to customers who own or lease a vehicle from 2015 or later, allowing drivers to offset the cost of the vehicle and potentially upgrade to more expensive models. Vehicles in the scheme will be rented to pre-approved users through the app, with customers who own or lease the vehicles keeping 60% of revenue, while GM keeps 40%. Peer-to-peer car sharing in the US is led by start-ups Getaround and Turo.
