Lyft to add autonomous shuttles in 2026 as Uber inks more self-driving deals | TechCrunch
Briefly

Lyft announced plans to incorporate autonomous shuttles manufactured by Benteler Group into its transportation network by late 2026. These shuttles will operate in collaboration with U.S. cities and airports, with potential for future expansion. The vehicles, branded under Holon, will have no steering wheels or pedals, featuring inward-facing seating for up to nine passengers and six standing. This partnership follows a trend of competition with Uber, which recently launched robotaxis from various manufacturers while Lyft continues to develop its own autonomous vehicle offerings.
