The challenging thing to me with FlightCar is it seems like one of those things where you need critical mass for it to work. You have to have a close matching of people leaving and wanting to rent to people returning and wanting to rent. AirBnB was a little easier because some people already had rentals, and others had empty rooms.

IE someone has to be arriving in Pittsburgh roughly around the time I'm leaving, and they have to also be leaving before I get home. I think that's the biggest challenge (beyond getting people to know about it and trust it). I'm sure it will take off at SFO at least.

How are the existing car sharing services doing? I haven't actually used one myself yet.
