Lyft, the nation’s second-largest ride-sharing service, launched its initial public offering on Friday, valuing the company at more than $20 billion.

Other automakers have taken a similar approach, with GM’s arch-rival Toyota, for one, partnering with Uber. When it was first announced, GM’s then-president Dan Ammann said the automaker wanted to put some of the autonomous vehicles it is developing into service through Lyft. That fit into the ride-sharing service’s own strategy.

But while Lyft is now running its own autonomous vehicle development program, GM has stepped back. “Right now… we have no active projects under way,” Barra said in June.
