GM plans to launch a car-sharing program this year

General Motors is staying tight-lipped about a new Bloomberg report that suggests the company's Maven car-sharing program will soon allow GM car owners to rent out their vehicles to strangers for brief periods of time through the app.

GM's existing Maven car-sharing program already offers cars on-demand, so people can rent a Chevy Volt or other vehicles in the company's fleet for a few hours to run errands. But according to the latest Bloomberg story, GM car owners will soon be able to rent their cars to other individuals through the same Maven app.
