It sounds like you're saying there's no way that this could be better than leaving your car parked when you're not driving it, but I can't believe that.
Group insurance rates are higher, maintenance is higher, life expectancy of vehicle lower, and finally for the umpteenth time on demand car leasing has been around for quite awhile. What you are proposing changes very little and adds significant amounts of complexity.
Furthermore if less traffic and cheaper transportation is the goal why bother with private privilege modes of transportation and just use public modes instead?
