Lyft and May Mobility’s autonomous hybrid Toyota Sienna minivans are open
to Atlantans starting this week.

The companies are kicking off their first pilot program in Atlanta, though
the rides will feature “a standby operator present in each vehicle” to
assist if needed and answer rider questions.

“Standby operators are fully trained to take the wheel and drive manually
during initial trips, as needed, and will intervene less over time as
service is optimized,” according to a news release.

The rides are available to Lyft users choosing standard or “Wait & Save”
rides in the Midtown area as well as Virginia Highlands, Old Fourth Ward,
and Inman Park, the companies said.

Waymo has come to Atlanta. Here’s what it’s like to ride in a driverless
car.

The seemingly sudden rise of autonomous vehicles on in-town Atlanta streets
actually comes eight years after state leaders enabled this sea change by
passing a bill allowing self-driving cars to operate on public roads.

“Atlanta’s selection as the inaugural market for this partnership reflects
the city’s and state’s growing reputation as a center for transportation
technology advancement,” the release stated.

Another autonomous vehicle company is coming to Atlanta: Meet Zoox.
