What do folks think of Lyft? Do you see them going international anytime soon? Also, since they have an investment from Google I am guessing they will have access to driverless tech (but I think I read somewhere that Google has invested in uber too , so not too sure)..
Want to see the real deal?

All geographies around the world are saturated with ruthless competitors (some with government support): Grab, Ola, Didi, Yandex, Careem, Uber, etc.
To grow internationally today is an unrealistically expensive endeavor. Fuck, it’s costing Lyft money to marginally grow market share in the US even under the best of conditions (while their main competitor has a scandal-ridden shitstorm of a year).
It would cost them high tens of billions of dollars (which they don’t have) to outspend well established local competitors.
Not to mention, the US is the easiest market to build for. There’s an unbelievable amount of complexity that comes with trying to operate ride-hailing globally..
