Lyft will let users in Atlanta catch robotaxi rides starting this summer, as reported by NBC News.
“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,” Lyft spokesperson CJ Macklin tells noti.group.
Macklin said the company plans to bring autonomous vehicles to Dallas next year using Marubeni cars outfitted with Mobileye technology and that “thousands of vehicles and more cities” will follow.
Lyft announced its partnerships with May Mobility and Intel-owned Mobileye in November, when it indicated its intention to launch the autonomous, May Mobility-powered cars sometime in 2025. Lyft announced its partnership with Marubeni in February.
