Waymo (Google) and the popular ride-hailing firm Lyft will be partnering on the promotion and rollout of self-driving vehicle technology, according to recent reports.

Neither of the companies have yet said all that much about the partnership, so it's not completely clear what it will actually entail. Presumably, Waymo/Google will at some point be providing Lyft with self-driving tech (or vehicles), but who knows?

Something that's interesting to note, though, is that Waymo/Google is currently pursuing legal action against Lyft's rival Uber in relation to allegations of trade secret theft.

Motor Authority provides more: "Waymo is the self-driving car business of Google's parent company, Alphabet, while Lyft is a ride-sharing firm that's seen hefty investment from General Motors. The automaker poured $500 million into Lyft in 2016 in its quest to develop a self-driving taxi fleet.

"Specific details surrounding what both companies plan were not divulged in the announcement. Though, with Lyft's developed structure of ride sharing, it's not far-fetched to envision a fleet of Waymo self-driving taxis to be on call for Lyft customers in the future."
