Why is Lyft not diversifying? They have so many drivers but still they are just focusing on rides. Food delivery, package delivery, lyft for business, global expansion, self driving cars, nothing... nada. What does your executive team tell you internally to justify taking no risks? I personally think lyft should do diversify because they have a slow and steady execution approach.
Because without rides nothing would happen. Duh! They have to focus and make this work well. You can’t just jump around like monkeys and lose focus. Focus is the core of building a successful business. Once they can make rides work, everything else would follow. They’re not at a point where algorithms work well for rides yet. If Lyft starts doing other things now they’re likely going to die from having too many opportunities. Like Amazon, you have to build the core logistics before you can expand.
Lyft can’t do what amazon did. Amazon was uniquely placed in history. Lyft has competition in every country, county and city. And uber is kicking their ass everywhere. Hence my concern as a consumer. By the way, i have driven around as a driver to test these services. As a uber driver i can make so much more because there is no down time.
It seems like you have a bare minimum understanding of startups work so I will not make any further comment.

Lyft is involved in and has publicly announced 3 of the 5 things you mention here plus many more.
Lyft wants to be #1 in rides. Then they will use what they have learned to dominate in other businesses.
They already have Lyft for business and have reoccurring contacts in place for it. I'm sure they are doing a bunch of stuff we are unaware of.
No. Not at all.
They also have rentals now
