Lyft plans to introduce driverless vehicles by sometime between June and September 2025, integrating autonomous technology into its ride-hailing platform.

The company will combine human drivers with autonomous fleets during peak hours, following competitors like Waymo and Uber.

Lyft expects new job opportunities in fleet management, remote support, and data validation, with future drivers potentially managing autonomous fleets.

The service will launch in partnership with May Mobility, starting in cities like Atlanta, while competing with Waymo in markets like San Francisco.

Lyft has not set a timeline for reducing human drivers but offers free tech training and AI-generated recommendation letters for drivers.
