Autonomous Rides

We're driving rideshare forward, together

Since 2012, we've transformed how people get around. Now, we're creating the world’s leading hybrid rideshare network with autonomous vehicles (AVs).

Our purpose remains constant: to serve and connect. As we introduce AV's to our platform, we're committed to providing reliable rides, supporting drivers as a vital part of our hybrid network, and collaborating with our partners, investors, and policymakers to fully realize the potential of AVs.

Together, we're not just reimagining the future of rideshare — we're actively building it.

Leading the way in autonomy

"I’m rooting for autonomous vehicles, not just as a consumer, but because they’ll be great for Lyft, as well as the riders and drivers on our platform. AVs are going to make streets safer for everyone who shares the road. And they’ll make it even easier for people to get out and about. We’re excited to lead the autonomous revolution through our human-centered approach, and continue to transform the way people get around in the communities we serve." - David Risher, CEO, Lyft

Why we’re set up to succeed

Our differentiated approach makes us the best way to commercialize AVs.

Hybrid network


Our future consists of both human drivers and autonomous vehicles. They each bring their unique capabilities to the table to unlock the highest utilization and availability.

Fleet management


Lyft's Flexdrive subsidiary has years of experience managing and owning vehicles. Fleets under our management maintained nearly 90% utilization on our platform.

Marketplace expertise


We’ve mastered real-time demand prediction, vehicle positioning, routing, and pricing.

Partner with us

We work with autonomous technology providers, manufacturers, and fleet operators to easily and effectively commercialize autonomous technology at scale.

RIDERS

Your trusted Lyft ride, now autonomous

Soon, you’ll be able to request an autonomous ride right from the Lyft app. We know this technology is exciting, but also new and unknown. Our goal is to create a safe, supportive experience for you, with step-by-step education prompts and live human support.

Every autonomous ride is tracked in real time, and as always, you’ll have access to our safety toolkit to give you more control and peace of mind.

Our safety standards

DRIVERS

Navigating a hybrid future, together

Drivers are more than just a reliable way to connect people to where they need to go. You go above and beyond for your riders, whether it’s a listening ear or offering local tips. You provide a human touch and a service that technology can't replace.

We want to ensure your voice is heard as we partner through these changes together.

Our commitment to safety excellence

Our goal is to be the safest way to get around, whether you're with a driver or in an autonomous vehicle. We hold our AV partners to high standards and check that safety is prioritized at every level of their organization, before any vehicle can operate on the Lyft platform.

We’re a trusted community partner

For over a decade, we’ve partnered with cities to improve mobility for the communities we serve. And we've become a trusted part of many riders' daily lives — more than 44 million riders turned to our platform last year. As we build a hybrid future, we’ll continue working with policymakers to develop AV regulations that prioritize safety, innovation, and equitable access.
