It works for things like Spotify as well. Competitors offering their products on a common platform. Revenue can be distributed by how often content from a certain provider is consumed.

Car2Go will probably soon be owned by Daimler and BMW as well.

BMW owns the carsharing service DriveNow together with Sixt. Sixt just agreed (today? yesterday?) to sell their stake to BMW so that Car2Go and DriveNow can merge.
