They are working on self-driving cars — which likely comes with massive storage requirements for recorded sensor data, and the compute to crunch it.

Is Lyft itself working on self-driving cars? I thought that GM and Alphabet (which are both investors in Lyft) are doing that and Lyft itself is doing no self-driving car research.

EDIT: now I see, page 3: "Simultaneously, we are building our own world-class autonomous vehicle system at our Level 5 Engineering Center, with the goal of ensuring access to affordable and reliable autonomous technology"
