Lyft (US.LYFT) plans to build a hybrid network of autonomous and driver vehicles, co-founder says - 09 iunie 2022
Lyft’s vehicle fleet will remain largely commandeered by drivers even as the company continues to develop its autonomous driving capabilities. “The same thing’s going to be true with autonomous vehicles. … It’ll do five percent of the trips. 95% of the time you’re going to rely on a rideshare driver. So that’s all going to happen within the Lyft network, and we’ll scale up with our autonomous partners,” he added.
Zimmer also told Cramer that the rideshare platform has seen “a 40% active drivers year-over-year improvement,” and that productivity has been higher, with Lyft facilitating 20% more rides per driver compared to during the first quarter in 2019.
