GM and Lyft to roll out autonomous Bolt EVs within a year, report says

Self-driving Lyft cars might be hitting the streets sooner than anyone anticipated. General Motors and Lyft are preparing to roll out a test fleet of autonomous long-range Bolt EV in a yet-to-be-determined city with in the next year, according to the Wall Street Journal. Citing an unnamed Lyft executive, WSJ reports the exact plans are still being worked out. When reached for comment, a GM representative told Mashable, "We have nothing specific to announce in relation to potential rollout of vehicles and technologies at this time." Adding, "GM continues to make progress on our previously announced plans related to an integrated on-demand autonomous network with Lyft. Similarly, we have said the Chevrolet Bolt EV is the ideal platform for ride sharing solutions. We believe electrification blends perfectly with autonomy when it comes to technology integration."
