Lyft (LYFT) has joined rideshare rival Uber (UBER) in signing a number of partnerships with auton𒊎omous driving software makers to bring "robotaxi💎s" to its platform.

Lyft on Wednesday announced partnerships — with software maker Mobileye (MBLY), along with May Mobility and Nexar — as the company said it plans to "continue to partner with additional industry leaders to shape the future of mobility." The deals mark the latest moves by tech companies to stake out ground in au🅷tonomous driving.

Lyft and May Mobility will bring a fleet of Toyota Sienna minivans using May's self-driving technology to Atlanta next year. Lyft said it will bring vehicles with Mobileye's self-driving software to the Lyft network, while the partnership with Nexar will combine Lyft's data with Nexar's driving video footage to "jointly contribute to a more complete data set for autonomous research and development."

Tesla (TSLA) 澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果体彩网:last month unveiled its own autonomous taxi, still years from operating on the roads. Uber recently announced a 澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果体彩网:number of partnerships with 澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果体彩网:AV makers like Alphabet's (GOOGL) Waymo and General Motors' (GM) Cruise.

澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果体彩网:Analysts have said Uber and Lyft are likely 澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果体彩网:beneficiaries of AV companies looking to partner to scale their market rather than build their own ridesharing network to 澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果体彩网:compete with Tesla, but have also cautioned that the develo꧙pment and regulatory approval of the software put the market years into the future.

The announcements came ahead of Lyft reporting third quarter results after Wednesday's closing bell. The company turned in revenue of $1.5 billion, ahead of expectations as tracked by Visible Alpha, and a net loss narrower than forecast.
