- Strategic partnerships with three major AV technology companies expanding service offerings
- Access to 40 million annual riders in North America for AV deployment
- Concrete timeline for AV deployment in Atlanta by 2025 with May Mobility
- AV implementation timeline suggests no immediate revenue impact
- Heavy dependence on third-party technology providers for AV capabilities
Insights
This strategic partnership marks a significant shift in Lyft's autonomous vehicle strategy. The "Lyft-ready" model with Mobileye creates a scalable distribution channel for AV deployment, while the May Mobility partnership in Atlanta provides a concrete timeline for implementation. The collaboration with Nexar for data sharing adds valuable R&D capabilities.
The business model is particularly compelling - by providing AV companies access to 40 million annual riders and fleet management infrastructure, Lyft positions itself as a critical platform player rather than competing directly in AV development. This asset-light approach reduces capital requirements while maintaining upside exposure to AV adoption.
However, meaningful revenue impact likely won't materialize until 2025 or later. The initiative faces regulatory hurdles and consumer adoption uncertainty. Competition from Uber and other mobility players pursuing similar strategies could pressure economics.
Lyft to join forces with Mobileye, May Mobility, and Nexar to connect riders to AVs
Today, Lyft is announcing its next step in delivering AVs to millions of people. Lyft and Mobileye, a leader in self-driving tech and advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) plan to bring AVs to the Lyft network. Through this partnership, Lyft will make its scaled rideshare platform available to all vehicles with Mobileye’s self-driving technology. Vehicles equipped with Mobileye Drive technology will hit the road “Lyft-ready” — giving small and large fleet operators seamless access to Lyft’s platform and network of riders to optimize their vehicles.
Beyond pioneering a new distribution channel for AVs through its alliance with Mobileye, Lyft is solving for other key parts of the AV value chain with May Mobility and Nexar.

Atlanta starting in 2025.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. - Nexar and Lyft will explore ways to harness the power of aggregated, anonymized marketplace and fleet data to help OEMs and AV companies build better and safer autonomous technology. By pairing Lyft data with Nexar’s hundreds of millions of hours of video footage, we can jointly contribute to a more complete data set for autonomous research and development.
“We’re thrilled to work with Mobileye, May Mobility, and Nexar to build the autonomous future together, with more partnerships to follow,” said David Risher, CEO of Lyft. “Lyft’s aim is to connect AVs, drivers, riders, and partners to create new opportunities for all. Our rideshare network will continue to evolve as millions of people will have the opportunity to earn billions of dollars whether they choose to drive, put their AVs into service, or both.”
“Cooperating with leading mobility providers and operators is an essential step to bring autonomous mobility services to reality,” said Prof. Amnon Shashua, President and CEO of Mobileye. “Enabling Mobileye Drive with Lyft’s network of 40 million annual riders in
Lyft’s rideshare network offers an easy and fast way for AVs to scale, and for partners to monetize their technology.
