    What HN says

    HN links it for Lyft's carbon offset policy and for his 2016 prediction that most rides would be self-driving by 2021, which commenters call funny in hindsight.

      Lyft purchases carbon offsets for all their rides. Don't know if they incentivize electric vehicles but it would make sense for them to do so at least as much as it costs them to offset conventional emissions.
