Lyft declared a  commitment to reach 100% electric vehicles on their platform by 2030. Is it feasible? Financially sustainable?

The economy needs profitable mobility businesses. Otherwise, we’re all just engaging in academic and philosophical exercises. 

Will Lyft have a fully-electric fleet by the year 2030? I hope so. 

But I hope it happens because the market demands it, not because big corporates engineer laws and policies that drive away innovation in favor of cronyism.

You have an opinion about autonomous vehicles,

Your walking shoes need more wear, and

You wish you didn’t have to drive so much.
