Lyft's motto: "We envision a world where cities feel small again. Where transportation and tech bring people together, instead of apart. We see the future as community-driven — and it starts with you."

Why not start out with transport modes that are small enough, that's to say "shrunk to fit demand"? The average cab ride consists of 1.2 passenger according to Boston Consulting Group. This means that a 3-seater would suffice, expecially if deployed autonomously (and all seats are payload).

Reduce footprint, and EVs will be cheaper to operate (faster recharge and a smaller battery) as well as easier to maneuver autonomously. Ride-Hailing needs a Next-Gen rickshaw. Cheers, Ralph
