Every day, millions of rides happen on the Lyft platform. These rides hold your most precious cargo — family, friends, and colleagues — which is why we are committed to being the safest way to get around.
There are approximately 40,000 deaths and 2.4 million injuries in the U.S. every year on the roads. Car crashes are the leading cause of death for teens and young adults, and remain among the leading causes of death across much of the lifespan. We accept these numbers in a way we would never tolerate from any other form of transportation. Speeding, alcohol impairment and distracted driving are the largest contributors. We want to make that number zero, and Autonomous Vehicles (AVs) are part of that plan. AVs never drive distracted and are designed to obey speed limits and traffic laws.
