# Smart Car Sharing Systems The 'eSetta' by Tony Weichselbraun is Eco-Friendly By Harris Jay Rosenberg Alterman | Published 2012-04-16 | Autos Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/esetta-by-tony-weichselbraun References: [yankodesign](http://www.yankodesign.com/2012/04/13/tiny-car-tower-of-power/) The 'eSetta' by Tony Weichselbraun is a car that would be used for a [car sharing system](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tesla-cybercab) in urban areas. Inspired by the [BMW](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/2025-Mini-Countryman-SUV) Isetta, this tiny car is not only able to squeeze through small alleyways, but able to do so with style. The car system would be much like a bike sharing program. One would pay a fee to rent the car, then drive to their destination where they would drop it off. Another benefit of these [mini cars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/compact-electric-microcar) is that they are electrically charged at the stations and do not require gasoline to run. Currently more and more bike-sharing programs are popping up around North America. This would be the first smart car sharing program if the idea continues to develop. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.3/10 - Popularity: 61% | Activity: 89% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Autos](https://www.trendhunter.com/autos) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Smart Car Sharing:** Develop an eco-friendly car sharing system for urban areas, reducing carbon emissions and easing congestion on the road. - **Electric Car Charging Stations:** Build stations to facilitate the charging of electric vehicles to ensure an eco-friendly and sustainable transportation system. - **Micro-mobility Transport:** Offer micro cars for rent as part of a shared transportation system to complement bike-sharing programs and other micro-mobility transport solutions. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Automotive:** Design and manufacture eco-friendly cars for smart car sharing systems, customized for urban areas. - **Renewable Energy:** Provide renewable energy solutions to enable electric car charging stations and ensure sustainable transportation systems. - **Transportation and Logistics:** Facilitate the implementation of smart car sharing systems and other micro-mobility transport solutions to optimize transportation and reduce urban congestion. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Electric Scooter Sharing Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/electric-scooter-sharing-system.md) - [Solar-Powered City Cars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/city-cars.md) - [Shared Rental Scooter Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/escooter-concept.md) - [Streamlined Two-Seater Electric Cars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/autonomous-electric-car-concept.md) - [Transforming Commuter Vehicles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/audi-vista-roadster.md) - [Electric City-Friendly Microcars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tesla-mini.md) - [Urban Rental Scooter Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/portable-rental-scooter-concept.md) - [Modular Rideshare Vehicles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gogo-ride-sharing-concept.md) - [Hybrid Design Commuter Vehicles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/robotic-city-car.md)
