Feb 10 (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.
