English is fun, I didn't read that like:
Waymo and ride-hailing service Lyft earlier this year announced a partnership to get self-driving vehicles on the roads.
- saghm 9y agoI'm curious; what did you initially parse the sentence as meaning? I can't think of any other way to read it
- delinka 9y ago"...get self-driving vehicles on the road earlier this year." Obviously, that hasn't happened, so the other parsing has to be correct. But one could certainly be forgiven for wondering if there was missed news about Lyft self-driving cars hitting the roads earlier this year. ;-)
- saghm 9y agoAh, okay. I can see that!
- noway421 9y agoI got even more confused and thought all 3 are partnering to get self-driving tech running.
