Lyft has launched its first Driver Autonomous Forum to incorporate experienced drivers' input as it integrates robotaxis into its ride-hailing service. The initiative aims to involve drivers in policy development, operations planning, and identifying future job opportunities like remote vehicle support. The inaugural session will feature Atlanta-based drivers coinciding with Lyft's partnership with May Mobility. This comes as competitors like Waymo and Uber advance their autonomous vehicle services. Lyft envisions a hybrid fleet of human-driven and autonomous vehicles, with planned deployments in cities including San Francisco, Los Angeles, and Dallas, aiming to balance innovation with workforce considerations.
