Checks are usually done or controlled by the state. Each state is different. Usually old cars do not have to pass tests. New cars, after 1994 I think, have built in computers that are continuously checking the cars emissions. These computers store the data and can be read by the testing facility.

How can car sharing help to reduce carbon emission?

Easy, though that term is usually referred to as 'carpooling.' It helps reduction because it takes more cars off the road and people share their cars to get to similar places. If we all just went there in our own cars, there'd be a lot of one-occupant cars on the road. The fewer the cars on the road due to carpooling greatly reduces carbon emission.
