The Lyft ride you love, now with an autonomous option
Autonomous rides are now available in Atlanta, making your city one of the first. During our pilot program, when you request a standard or Wait & Save ride around the Midtown area, you could be matched with an autonomous vehicle powered by our partner May Mobility.
How to take an autonomous ride
During the pilot program, request a standard or Wait & Save ride with a pickup and drop-off around Midtown Atlanta. If there's an autonomous vehicle available, you'll be matched at no extra cost. You can decide to accept or decline the ride.
Human support, when you need it
For your safety and comfort, all autonomous rides have a trained standby operator at the wheel to monitor and manually navigate the vehicle when needed. They’ll help with your luggage and answer any questions you have about this new technology.
Ride comfortably, every time
Each autonomous ride is professionally cleaned and comes with temperature controls, so you can feel comfortable. All vehicles are Toyota Siennas, giving you plenty of room to stretch out and relax.
Where to ride
Grab a coffee with a friend in Virginia Highland or hop in an autonomous vehicle to your Midtown morning commute — we got you. Autonomous vehicles operate daily during limited hours around the Midtown area.
