its nothing new 

 

Turo, formerly RelayRides, is a company that operates a peer-to-peer carsharing marketplace. It allows private car owners to rent out their vehicles via an online and mobile interface. The company is based in San Francisco. From 2013 to 2014, RelayRides was the subject of an investigation in New York over violations of state vehicle insurance law that resulted in $200,000 in fines. Forbesincluded it among 14 "hottest on-demand startups" in 2015.

Uber is not self drive 

 

uber is a taxi service 

 

TURO is looking to take on the self drive / car hire market !

I would use something like this. You have car clubs like Zipcar in London, though they rent out there own cars not private ones.
