Lyft to join forces with Mobileye, May Mobility, and Nexar to connect riders to AVs

Lyft, Inc. (Nasdaq: LYFT), one of North America's largest transportation networks, announced plans for multiple autonomous vehicle (AV) partnerships to connect the Lyft community with future AV rides in the Lyft app.

Today, Lyft is announcing its next step in delivering AVs to millions of people. Lyft and Mobileye, a leader in self-driving tech and advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) plan to bring AVs to the Lyft network. Through this partnership, Lyft will make its scaled rideshare platform available to all vehicles with Mobileye’s self-driving technology. Vehicles equipped with Mobileye Drive technology will hit the road “Lyft-ready” — giving small and large fleet operators seamless access to Lyft’s platform and network of riders to optimize their vehicles.

Beyond pioneering a new distribution channel for AVs through its alliance with Mobileye, Lyft is solving for other key parts of the AV value chain with May Mobility and Nexar.

  • May Mobility will directly deploy AVs to the Lyft platform in Atlanta starting in 2025. Atlanta riders will have the opportunity to be matched with a fleet of autonomous Toyota Sienna minivans equipped with May Mobility’s autonomous technology, a deployment that Lyft and May Mobility aim to scale over time across multiple markets.
  • Nexar and Lyft will explore ways to harness the power of aggregated, anonymized marketplace and fleet data to help OEMs and AV companies build better and safer autonomous technology. By pairing Lyft data with Nexar’s hundreds of millions of hours of video footage, we can jointly contribute to a more complete data set for autonomous research and development.

“We’re thrilled to work with Mobileye, May Mobility, and Nexar to build the autonomous future together, with more partnerships to follow,” said David Risher, CEO of Lyft. “Lyft’s aim is to connect AVs, drivers, riders, and partners to create new opportunities for all. Our rideshare network will continue to evolve as millions of people will have the opportunity to earn billions of dollars whether they choose to drive, put their AVs into service, or both.”

“Cooperating with leading mobility providers and operators is an essential step to bring autonomous mobility services to reality,” said Prof. Amnon Shashua, President and CEO of Mobileye. “Enabling Mobileye Drive with Lyft’s network of 40 million annual riders in North America would allow our AV customers to reach new markets and geographies with autonomous services and provide the benefits of the technology through a sustainable business.”

Lyft’s rideshare network offers an easy and fast way for AVs to scale, and for partners to monetize their technology. The platform gives AV partners access to 40 million riders annually, and provides robust fleet management capabilities that streamline on-boarding, off-boarding, and vehicle servicing. The revolutionary “Lyft-ready” model is a turnkey solution, empowering partners to seamlessly deploy AVs to Lyft’s marketplace, effectively commercialize these deployments, and maximize their vehicle utilization.

Lyft will continue to partner with additional industry leaders to shape the future of mobility. See here for more information on Mobileye, May Mobility, and Nexar.
