Lyft and Ford have announced that the two will team up on the development and deployment of self-driving cars. The agreement will see Ford putting self-driving vehicles on Lyft's open platform, which will not only allow Ford to integrate into Lyft's ride-hailing system, but it will also allow Ford to access a number of real-life driving scenarios from which Ford's self-driving cars can learn how to act and react.

"We strongly believe that leaders across industries should work collaboratively to introduce self-driving technology in a way that positively impacts our cities," Lyft said in a blog post. "Our two companies share a core belief that the future of transportation will meaningfully reshape how cities are designed, and improve the lives of people who live there."
