May Mobility, an autonomous driving (AD) technology company, and Lyft, one of the largest transportation network companies in North America, today announced their multi-year partnership with plans to launch autonomous vehicles in the Lyft app. The companies will launch the first deployment in Atlanta in 2025. The service will use May Mobility's Toyota Sienna Autono-MaaS vehicles.

The partnership with Lyft marks May Mobility's entrance into the rideshare industry, expanding its innovative approach to autonomous transportation and providing new options for riders seeking efficient and convenient mobility solutions. As May Mobility deploys autonomous vehicle fleets on the Lyft network, the companies will continue to work with local governments and communities to encourage a smooth expansion of autonomous vehicle service which aims to benefit riders and cities alike.

In the months ahead, May Mobility and Lyft will initiate planning for the first deployment, including service area, hours of operation, fleet size and more. The multi-year partnership aims to expand May Mobility's AV fleet on Lyft's network over the coming years. Initial deployments will utilize safety operators and then transition to driver-out operations over time.

Each May Mobility vehicle is equipped with its patented Multi-Policy Decision Making (MPDM) technology that leverages in-situ AI to interpret data in real-time, continuously learning and adapting to new, complex and even unpredictable driving conditions to help create a safer, more comfortable ride.
