Nothing makes me prouder than seeing all the amazing ways the Lyft team thinks bigger and better every year. Thank you to Fast Company for the recognition. Here’s to even more innovation in 2025! fastcompany.com/91270216/trave…

Self-driving cars are in the news for good reason: they'll change the way millions move around. But one thing that won’t change is Lyft's commitment to drivers. Here’s how we plan to help drivers thrive in the AV era: lyft.com/blog/posts/aut…

Appreciate your hosting a thoughtful conversation, Axios, including a lively discussion of the problems of Saturday Night vomit in self-driving cars. (Curious? It's in the livestream here at 7 mins: youtu.be/uHelTIfA4UM)

Fleet management may not be sexy, but it's key to bringing Autonomous Vehicles to life. This new essay from Stephen Hayes (Lyft's VP of Autonomous, Fleets, and Driver Operations) lays it all out in plain English. Check it out: lyft.com/blog/posts/bey…

Most shareholder letters are pretty dull. Sure hope this one isn't! Here's what I wrote about: - Enshittification: Why it’s taking over the internet — and how we’re fighting back; - How we cut driver cancellations by 61%, and what that means for riders and drivers; - Lyft’s

Meet my mom. One of the hardest conversations I ever had with her was about giving up the car keys. It didn't go well. And with about 60M seniors in the U.S. alone, many more people are going to have that conversation. That's why we designed Lyft Silver: a Lyft service designed

Just posted Lyft's Q1 2025 earnings, and the headline writes itself: this was our strongest start to the year ever. We hit Q1 records across the board-- Best financial results; best service levels. Customer-obsession + an *incredible* team is the magic formula for success.

For all the talk about self-driving cars, far more relevant right now is tech that takes the load off drivers. Mary Barra's team at General Motors was kind enough to lend me a new Blazer for a few days to see what I thought of their Super Cruise driver-assist technology. So I took it out for

Big fan of this partnership, co-funded by Tesla / Tesla North America and Lyft. I know there are a lot of feelings about Tesla and their CEO. I also know from personal experience that Teslas, and EVs in general, are great options for rideshare riders and drivers. We want to make EVs

A little behind-the-scenes look about Lyft 's approach to continuously listening to customers. This one's about bathrooms 🚽 and donuts 🍩. BTW I do read and appreciate your feedback. If you or your friends have ideas for how we can make Lyft even better, let me know!

Autonomous Vehicles are amazing. But they don't clean themselves, maintain themselves, repair themselves-- that all takes people, systems and infrastructure. What to see Lyft's secret weapon? It's flexdrive, our independent fleet subsidiary that ensures their 14,000 cars
