Daimler is offering a new service to give drivers independent mobility without having their own car, reports autohaus online. The ‘Car2gether’ website is being developed by the manufacturer, enabling easy arrangement of shared vehicles via a smartphone. The move is in response to a growing trend towards what Daimler calls ‘zero car households’ as more people, particularly in urban areas, prefer not to have their own car. Subscribers register online for the use of the cars; the price has been announced as 9.5 cents per minute for those accompanying the driver. It is planned in the future to make payment possible without cash.Field trials are to start in mid September in Ulm.
