DALLAS — Rideshare company Lyft will bring another self-driving technology to the North Texas market, one of its co-founders announced Monday.
The company previously announced in November it would launch self-driving cars in Atlanta. Now, the company says its autonomous cars will be in Dallas by 2026, according to David Risher’s post on X. Lyft is partnering with Marubeni and Mobileye, a leader in self-driving tech and advanced driver assistance, Risher said.
In 2026, riders will be able to hail autonomous vehicles through the Lyft app and the company plans to expand the self-driving technology to other cities, Risher said.
“It’s all part of our promise to serve and connect, and we’re excited to have Marubeni along for the ride,” Risher said.
Several other companies have announced plans to bring autonomous technology of all shapes and sizes to North Texas in the coming years.
Autonomous rideshare startup Cruise announced in June it would return to North Texas six months after a series of mishaps across its fleet, WFAA previously reported. Torc, a self driving truck company, leased a space in the AllianceTexas Development to test the technology and conduct customer freight pilots. The trucks are expected to hit the road by 2027.
Plus, delivery robots and drones are looking to map North Texas streets to make food and grocery deliveries.
