87. Lyft’s Vision for the Future of Autonomy

When it comes to autonomous vehicles, public trust in the tech is integral to success. As a popular rideshare app, Lyft Autonomous is uniquely positioned to develop this relationship and bring self-driving rides to the masses. Lyft has conducted over 100,000 paid rides with AVs — and there’s more to come. .  Jody Kelman, General Manager, Lyft Autonomous shares her vision for the future of self-driving fleets. Calling Lyft the “connective tissue” between this revolutionary tech and the rider, Kelman discusses how they’re able to build trust with passengers, their exciting partnership with Argo AI and Ford, and how they can bring a human touch to each AV ride. .
