If I were Lyft I would be looking for an automaker acquisition. Specifically one with an EV program or willing to start one. I say this because once any automaker figures out self driving on an ev, the fleet rideshare aspect would be a negligible effort to add. Once that does happen Lyft would basically no longer need to exist. Maybe this move is what they are trying to do which is be acquired by Ford. Either I applaud there effort and look forward to what they achieve.

Lyft is a 15B+ company. Neither Ford, nor any other auto company, has the cash to acquire them.

Toyota has some 150 bn USD in cash reserves.

Toyota has the cash but seems to have trouble understanding that electric is the future of automotive transportation. I hope they figure it out for their sake.
