In Germany, Smart is being used as a test subject for a new car share industry, which can be accessed with a simple phone call.

Car2Go is a service similar to that of Philly’s Car Share. Vehicles are parked throughout an urban area in reserved spots. The renter signs up for a one-time registration where they can save their driver’s license info, credit or debit numbers online. Now all they have to do in order to rent a car is call and find the closest Smart car to their location. Their account is billed $0.19 a minute for their ride (other services charge by mile). You access the vehicle with a pin that can be transmitted through your cell phone.

Car2go will have dedicated parking spaces at railway stations and airports to start, users can also locate a car with the internet.
