and seldom used where I now live on the US east coast.

Seldom used? Even New York City has lots of cars.

I think people are assuming everyone else is just like them.

As for universal car-sharing, it starts with the idea that "cars are idle 90% of the time" and ignores the fact that 80% of people want to use them at the same time: on their morning and evening commutes.

It would appear that many people do live without cars so there is an untapped market.
