Lyft includes Apple as one of the autonomous vehicle threats. Guess Project Titan not dead after all:
"There are also a number of companies developing autonomous vehicle technology that may compete with us in the future, including Alphabet (Waymo), Apple, Baidu, Uber and Zoox"

Lyft's CoR is about 55%, giving Lyft a gross margin of 45%.

That's not software-levels, but it's also pretty Not Bad. Esp if it can juice a few more points out over the coming quarters.
