The first Chevy Bolt EV you see might be your Lyft ride

Shortly before General Motors scooped up the pieces of failed Uber competitor Sidecar back in January, they invested 500 million in Lyft for a partnership to create a self-driving vehicle network. In August, news broke that the car giant made an offer to buy the ride-sharing company, but was rebuffed. Their intertwined saga continues today, as they announced that Lyft drivers would be among the first to get Chevy's Bolt electric vehicles. It's not the first GM cars loaned out to the ride-sharing app's personnel. In March, the car company launched Express Drive, a program incentivizing Lyft drivers in certain cities to rent their vehicles and use them while working.
