Getaround
Getaround, the peer-to-peer car sharing company, saw its SPAC valuation collapse from $1.2 billion to under $50 million as unit economics proved unworkable. The company discovered that peer-to-peer car sharing faces adverse selection—the cars available for rent are often the ones their owners don't want to use, creating quality and reliability problems that deter renters.
