So GM bought this, but I thought they also had their partnership with Lyft? Are GM just betting on different horses and seeing which properties turn out to be the most fruitful?

GM purchased Cruise for access to its self-driving technology and software engineering talent. GM invested $500 million in Lyft to leverage the ride sharing platform with its future fleet of autonomous vehicles.

These two horses aren't competing against each other.

but then why build a ride sharing service for Cruise if Lyft has already done it?
