Bulls Say, Bears Say
Bulls
Lyft’s partnerships with nascent autonomous vehicle companies like May Mobility, Mobileye, and Nexar keep the door open for more advantageous AV partnerships soon.
Bears
Lyft’s core user base growth and scale is significantly lower than Uber’s. As such, Lyft has a poor value proposition to the major autonomous vehicle companies.
