(Reuters) -U.S. ride-hailing firm Lyft ( LYFT ) is planning to launch fully autonomous robotaxis, powered by Mobileye, to its app "as soon as 2026" in Dallas, CEO David Risher said in a post on X on Monday.

Shares of Lyft ( LYFT ) rose 5% in premarket trading following the report, while Mobileye jumped 11.6%.

Marubeni, a Japanese conglomerate with experience managing fleets, will own and finance the Mobileye-equipped vehicles that will show up on Lyft's ( LYFT ) ride-hailing app, Risher said.

Mobileye had said in November last year that it was partnering with Lyft ( LYFT ) to bring autonomous vehicles to the ride-hailing firms network.
