Britain's biggest carmaker Jaguar Land Rover said its mobility services business, InMotion Ventures,would invest $25 million in U.S. ride services company Lyft Incto help develop and test technology for self-driving cars. The auto industry and technology companies are racing to develop self-driving technology, which in the years to come is expected to transform transportation by cutting costs of ride services and changing the way people buy and use cars. InMotion will also supply Lyft with a fleet of Jaguar and Land Rover vehicles, the automaker said on Monday.
