Steering Towards an Autonomous Future?

TechCrunch published this video item, entitled “Steering Towards an Autonomous Future?” – below is their description.

A decade ago, Lyft launched in San Francisco as the friendly pink mustache-wearing ride-hailing service. Today, the company is the second-largest ride-hailing service in the U.S., runs a bike share business, acquired and created and then sold a self-driving car unit — all while facing rival Uber, regulatory headwinds, lawsuits and the public market. Co-founder John Zimmer will talk about how it aims to remain competitive, what inflation and regulatory pressures may bring and where the next wave of growth will come from.
