Lyft is partnering with Benteler Mobility to launch a self-driving shuttle service. In late 2026, Lyft plans to deploy the company’s all-electric Holon Urban shuttles in airports and cities around the US, allowing users to book trips from its ride-sharing app.
Holon, a subsidiary of Benteler, says its rectangular bus has enough room to fit up to 15 people. With a max speed of 37MPH, the self-driving shuttle comes equipped with an array of lidar and radar sensors, along with 11 cameras, allowing it to operate with Level 4 autonomy. That means it can drive without human intervention, but isn’t capable of driving under all conditions. It uses autonomous driving technology from Intel’s Mobileye, which Lyft is also partnering with to launch a fleet of robotaxis next year.

I like the concept of when corporations become big enough and popularly used by the public, they should be bought out for the public. Hope this takes off and eventually the city follows suit.
