Ford, which has been criticized for not moving faster to develop a strategy for developing autonomous-drive vehicles, is turning to Lyft for help in testing self-driving cars. The automaker is partnering with Lyft by initially offering human-driven vehicles on the ride-share operator's fleet. Eventually, Ford plans to make its autonomous-drive vehicles available to Lyft customers.

Ford's partnership with Lyft creates the unique situation where the automaker is working with a company that is partially owned by its rival General Motors.
