Lyft, Motional to launch robotaxi service in Los Angeles
By: Investing.com | November 17, 2022
(Reuters) - Lyft (NASDAQ:LYFT) and driverless technology firm Motional said on Thursday that residents in Los Angeles will be able to book robotaxis on the ride-hailing company's app, but did not specify by when the service will be available.

Los Angeles will become the second city where the companies will offer the driverless taxi service after Las Vegas.
Motional which uses Hyundai Motor Co's IONIQ5 electric car for the robotaxi service is a joint venture between the South Korean manufacturer and automotive technology company Aptiv (NYSE:APTV).

Competitor Waymo started its autonomous ride-hailing service in Phoenix, Arizona last week.
