[Ford Credit Link](https://fordcreditlink.com) is much more than fancy financing. The automaker is tapping into the Sharing Economy with an app that allows up to six co\-lessees to "share responsibility among friends, colleagues or family", sharing the lease cost, reserving the car, and _splitting the payment_ among the group. (Hat tip to [Springwise](http://www.springwise.com/car-manufacturer-offers-drivers-sharing-app-car-leases/) for writing about the service, only available in Austin as of now.)

Don\'t look past these interesting pieces of the program:

1. *They focus on more than collecting payment* The app provides tools to manage the asset\'s use among the group members. A few nifty features include scheduling drive times, keeping tabs on vehicle maintenance, and tracking the car\'s location. Imagine when the vehicles are self\-driving and can come to you \([see Tesla\'s summons feature](http://jalopnik.com/you-can-now-autonomously-park-and-summon-the-tesla-mode-1752037395)\)!<commit_msg>Attempting fix to formatting<commit_after>---
