Self-driving cars seem to be so close to happening, we’re already trying to figure out what shows to watch while the robot does the driving. And now, Uber competitor Lyft is getting into the game with their own self-driving tech program. And not surprisingly, their efforts will be run out of a Palo Alto facility.
The New York times says Lyft will employ “several hundred” engineers to get the program up to speed as it were. Lyft’s CTO said the company will collaborate with other self-driving tech efforts, the most notable being Google/Alphabet’s leading-edge Waymo division, which had been connected to Uber before they had a serious legal falling out. GM and Jaguar/Land Rover will also be in the mix.
The times says Lyft isn’t going to be making any of their own cars, although they had also previously stated they weren’t interested in a self-driving car program either. Hey, we get it, things change. Lyft says they have 700,000 drivers on the rolls, and if their efforts pay off, that number will likely shrink as our cars finally learn to drive us around, rather than the other way around.
