Lyft to Launch Autonomous Vehicles on Ridesharing Platform by Summer 2025

The rollout, beginning in Dallas, includes a hybrid model with human drivers and aims to create new job opportunities in fleet management and support roles.

Lyft has announced plans to integrate autonomous vehicles (AVs) into its ridesharing platform starting as early as summer 2025, beginning in Dallas.
The company has partnered with May Mobility, Mobileye, and Marubeni to support the rollout and expand its AV operations.
Lyft envisions a hybrid model where human drivers complement AV fleets, particularly during peak demand periods and for tasks AVs cannot handle.
New job opportunities are expected to emerge in areas such as fleet management, remote vehicle support, and map data labeling, with free training proposed for drivers to transition to other industries.
This move positions Lyft to compete with rivals like Uber and Waymo, which have already launched driverless services in major U.S. markets.
