Lyft Inc recently reported record profitability, forecasting $8.7 billion in revenue by 2028, driven by its focus on autonomous vehicle partnerships and ride growth.
The company's collaboration with Waymo is a key part of its strategy to adapt to technological changes in the ride-sharing industry, although safety and regulatory risks remain significant concerns.
Despite mixed opinions from analysts regarding Lyft's future potential, the company's strong cash flow and partnerships position it well for continued growth in a competitive market.
