I am looking forward to the day Lyft announces, "Autonomous Lyft."

To clarify the confusion...

The definition of autonomous I am using here is: "having the freedom to act independently" [1]

And in this context context I mean the car acting independently of the driver.

I wouldn't hold my breath. I refused to use the service when I first discovered it because it was facebook only auth. I believe that has since changed, but user privacy is not a huge concern of theirs.
This word Autonomous. I don't think it means what you think it means.
Why pay to ride on a large land mammal? Cars work just fine.
I know what the word means and still don't get it.
He is confused with anonymous. The parent was suggesting self-driving Lyft, vs identity-free lyft riding.
