In conversations about self-driving cars, people often talk about the rush to full autonomy like they’re commentators on a race — tracking new developments in technology, analyzing the strategic moves of the companies hurrying to be first.
At Lyft, self-driving cars are vital to our vision of the future — a future in which cities are built around people, and not cars.
