it looks like that automaker don't want to miss the train...some read across I think for another sector car rental...SIXT, EUROPCAR, HERTZ...should see more consolidation as business more at risk and relationship with automakers should be more at risk
Announced a strategic investment in Scoop Technologies, Inc., creators of the carpooling mobile application Scoop. Since launching in August 2015, Scoop commuters have taken more than 40,000 trips, offsetting nearly 500,000 in commute mileage for riders. Originally launched in Pleasanton, CA, Scoop now also operates commute trips into San Francisco, Palo Alto, Sunnyvale and North San Jose.
The Scoop app automatically connects co-workers and neighbors who live in the same neighborhood and travel to the same work area. Commuters select each trip one way at a time and choose whether to ride or drive. Scoops algorithm matches them to a carpool with neighbors and co-workers for the most efficient commute.
