Lyft to Launch Robotaxi Service in Dallas by 2026
Lyft partners with Mobileye and Marubeni to introduce autonomous ride-hailing, aiming to expand across multiple cities.
Lyft is set to launch a fleet of autonomous robotaxis in Dallas by 2026, powered by Mobileye technology and managed by Marubeni. The move follows Uber’s push into autonomous ride-hailing, with Tesla also planning an autonomous service in Austin. Lyft aims to scale the program across multiple cities, but challenges such as high costs, operational expenses, and consumer trust remain. Analysts note that Lyft’s smaller market share compared to Uber could impact its appeal to autonomous vehicle manufacturers. The rollout of robotaxis continues to face regulatory, technical, and safety hurdles as companies compete for dominance in this emerging market.
