smart "car2go" in Texas!?

[JPaul]

Looks like Smart is experimenting with car sharing, or cars on demand, and they're choosing the most interesting places to test it out. After a successful trial in Ulm, Germany, Smart is looking to bring on-demand use of its car to Austin. You know, in Texas. Yes, the same Texas with all the steers, BBQ, cowboys, Bush family members and general vehicle xenophobia. There must be some sort of Teutonic logic behind all of this.
