It’s no secret that the end-game for ride-hailing firms like Uber, Lyft and Didi Chuxing is to replace tens of thousands of human drivers with autonomous vehicles. In the past year, Uber has launched its own autonomous vehicle development program, Lyft has partnered with GM and Didi received a $1 billion investment from Apple. In the wake of this week’s Ford autonomous vehicle announcement, Volvo has now stepped up and announced that it will partner with Uber to develop and produce autonomous vehicles.
