Self-driving Lyft cars will pick up passengers in the Bay Area with new partnership

A self-driving Lyft could soon give you a ride around San Francisco.

Lyft is adding another name to its growing list of collaborators via a partnership with Drive.ai, a Mountain View-based self-driving startup. The pair will launch a new pilot program in the Bay Area with Drive.ai self-driving cars on Lyft's open autonomous platform, putting driverless cabs on the streets for the first time since Uber's service flamed out of San Francisco last year.

Drive.ai will take advantage of Lyft's ride-hailing app to connect with passengers while testing out its self-driving technology in its own fleet of vehicles, which will be operated by trained safety drivers who will take the wheel if needed. Riders will have a chance to opt out of an autonomous ride on the app.  Read more...
