Lyft is teaming up with Tensor Auto to [1]launch hundreds of AI-powered "Robocars" across Europe and North America starting in 2027. Bloomberg reports:
> Tensor Robocars, the first deliveries of which are planned in late 2026, have more than 100 sensors including cameras, lidars and radars, and processes sensor data with artificial intelligence technology powered by Nvidia Corp. chips on board. The vehicles will come from the manufacturer with Lyft's platform installed, which will allow owners to make money on the rideshare network in markets where level 4 autonomous technology is available, according to the joint statement. Lyft has reserved hundreds of Robocars via its affiliates for its own fleet operations, subject to regulatory approvals.

For what it's worth, the old taxi system was ripe for disruption. The system was expensive and full of entitlement. Service was not good, especially in suburbs. If Uber and Lyft hadn't come along, somebody else would have.

Yes so it's so awesome that the new system is just starting out omitting all that inefficiency by letting people starve instead.

I know right! People are starving in the streets of America. It's like a zombie apocalypse, undead people rambling about everywhere.
