Lyft

Lyft is a ride-hail platform that, in its own words, no longer develops autonomous-vehicle technology: its quarterly filing says that after selling its Level 5 self-driving division in 2021 it must “develop and maintain partnerships with other companies to offer AV technology on our platform”, and that its Flexdrive vehicle-rental business is under 10% of revenue.¹ The filing does not quantify autonomous-vehicle economics.¹

Its best-documented arrangement is with Waymo in Nashville. Lyft said on September 9, 2026 that Waymo rides are available on the Lyft app, with Flexdrive managing a single fleet that is dispatched across both apps and matching on Lyft at no additional cost to the rider;² its second-quarter release says fleet operations began in June 2026 ahead of an 80,000-square-foot purpose-built autonomous-vehicle depot, which a later post says opened with Waymo vehicles moving in on October 12.³⁴ Lyft also began a pilot with May Mobility in Atlanta on September 10, 2025, using Toyota Sienna vehicles with a standby operator in each, and with no financial terms disclosed.⁵ Baidu’s annual report lists an August 2025 agreement with Lyft for Germany and the UK, which we have not seen confirmed on a Lyft page.⁶
