　　“All the cars in San Francisco are electric，” Mr Steinberg says.

　　In San Francisco, handing back the car to Drive Now is easy—just pick one of its drop­off points, park and walk away. There are no forms to fill in, no time­consuming(耗时的) rules.

　　Several other carmakers and other players within the motor industry are experimenting with similar schemes, for example Daimler’s Car2go scheme, which is operated in many cities around the world.

　　“We picture a future where car­sharing members outnumber car owners in big cities around the world，”says Car2go spokesman Andreas Leo.
