I think it's generally a brilliant solution but there are a couple of problems here:
Sounds to me like they're just trying to replace those employees. That's why they won't let them interfere.
Sounds like they want to lose those customers.
But they know their competitions are doing to adopt the same type of tech, so where are those customers going to go when they have no choice?
I use an app called GoMore in some places in Europe that allows you to rent cars from other peers. The rental process is cheaper and faster--everything is done through the app--and you avoid these shady corpo practices.
Turo is probably the closest equivalent in the US
For now till the shit that happens with Airbnb happens there. With the corporations just renting all the cars.
In the US, Turo is basically that.
