Using the Lyft app in this city could get you picked up by a self-driving car

Autonomous vehicles won’t arrive overnight, but almost every week they seem to inch a bit closer to becoming an everyday reality.

The latest example of that incremental progress occurred in Boston on Wednesday when Lyft announced that the ride-sharing company has begun a self-driving car pilot in the city’s Seaport district. The program, accessible through the Lyft app, is a partnership with the autonomous vehicle startup NuTonomy, which has been testing their cars in Boston since January.
