They used to have this in Seattle (Car2Go (Merc), and ShareNow (BMW)) but they had a messy back-and-forth acquisition, shutdown, then apparent resurgence?

I used to love Car2Go. I read that the only reason it was around was so BMW/Merc could meet the fleet emission requirements in the US, and once they were able to meet that without selling a bunch of cars to Car2Go/ShareNow there was no reason to keep losing money on it.
I'm not sure which is running the car rentals near me, but they keep getting tagged like the scooters do which is sorta a bad look.
