Nashville Becomes Lyft's Proving Ground for Waymo's Driverless Fleet

In Nashville, the autonomous vehicles carrying Waymo passengers are now run day to day by Lyft, which has taken over the behind-the-scenes work of keeping the fleet on the road. It is a notable turn for Waymo, whose most visible ridehailing tie to date has been with Uber. By handing Lyft the operational reins in one American city, the two companies have built a partnership that, by early signs, may outlast that arrangement.
