Robotaxis are increasingly influencing the rideshare market, raising concerns among drivers using platforms like Uber and Lyft. With Waymo's autonomous vehicles already operational in several cities, the fear among gig workers is that their earnings and job opportunities may dwindle. To address these challenges, Lyft has initiated the Driver Autonomous Forum, which aims to gather feedback from drivers about the impact of AVs, fostering a hybrid model of human and autonomous driving, emphasizing that human drivers will remain part of the equation as technology evolves.
Drivers for apps like Uber and Lyft are growing worried about autonomous vehicles.
Lyft's new Driver Autonomous Forum will convene 6 to 10 drivers to discuss individual points of challenge in the AV expansion.
Lyft understands that robotaxis will necessarily distort the rideshare labor market.
'We wanted to create an intentional, structured way to gather their feedback on how we can innovate in a human-centered way.'
