Lyft, Waymo partner to expand autonomous ride-hailing service to Nashville

Lyft (LYFT) and Waymo (GOOGL) announced a new partnership to bring Waymo’s fully autonomous ride-hailing service to Nashville in 2026. This new collaboration will leverage Lyft’s integrated fleet management services through its Flexdrive subsidiary, which will provide end-to-end fleet management, including vehicle maintenance, infrastructure, and depot operations for the Nashville fleet. Riders will have the opportunity to hail Waymo’s fully autonomous vehicles first on the Waymo app, with plans to also dispatch its fleet on Lyft’s network for matched rides later in 2026.
