The title here is missing a key word from Lyft's post: "secret", for the "secret plan". I thought map ownership/dominance was a key idea, like a decade ago, when Lyft and Uber started. Interesting that the issue was OSM wasn't robust enough until now. Was Lyft actively assigning engineers to work on OSM (or waiting?); couldn't that have accelerated OSM's path to robustness? This idea certainly takes time to develop into reality, but it seems like a lackluster idea to post now, in hopes of making Lyft more robust itself, but it's hard to not be cynical about stock price bump PR releases.
