Lyft's robotaxis will launch in Atlanta this summer
Briefly

Lyft is set to introduce robotaxi rides in Atlanta this summer, utilizing autonomous Toyota Sienna minivans powered by May Mobility's technology. The company aims to expand this service to Dallas by next year and potentially more locations, following partnerships with May Mobility and Intel's Mobileye. Lyft's commitment to autonomous travel reflects a growing trend in the industry, highlighted by rivals like Waymo also offering continuous robotaxi services. With such advancements, Lyft and others are positioning themselves for a competitive future in autonomous ride-hailing services.
Atlanta riders will have the opportunity to be matched with a fleet of autonomous Toyota Sienna minivans equipped with May Mobility's autonomous technology.
Macklin said the company plans to bring autonomous vehicles to Dallas next year using Marubeni cars outfitted with Mobileye technology.
Lyft announced its partnerships with May Mobility and Intel-owned Mobileye in November, indicating its intention to launch the autonomous cars sometime in 2025.
Earlier this month, Alphabet-owned Waymo announced it would be offering 24/7 robotaxi rides in Silicon Valley.
