Lyft Plans to Launch Benteler Autonomous Shuttles in US in 2026
Lyft Inc. is partnering with Benteler Group, an Austria-based manufacturer, to deploy autonomous shuttles in the US in late 2026, trying to catch up with rival Uber Technologies Inc. in offering driverless rides.
The ride-sharing company will test Benteler's Holon urban electric shuttles for US customers next year, and may expand to thousands of vehicles in more markets globally. The driverless shuttles will initially be deployed in partnership with airports and cities, Lyft said Friday in a statement, dovetailing with the company's recent revival of pooled rides at US airports.
