Lyft is hiring ride-hailing drivers to service self-driving cars. It's a chance to 'get skilled up,' one exec says.

Lyft's Flexdrive is hiring ex-Lyft drivers in Nashville to service Waymo self-driving cars at a new depot. The facility will handle cleaning, charging, and repairs for Waymo vehicles, with about half the workforce consisting of former ride-hailing drivers transitioning to roles like car cleaners and depot management.
