Mobileye Global Inc.'s stock skyrocketed by over 7% on Wednesday, driven by a groundbreaking partnership with ride-hailing giant Lyft Inc. that promises to accelerate the deployment of autonomous vehicles on a massive scale.

The collaboration, announced earlier in the day, will see Mobileye providing its cutting-edge Mobileye Drive autonomous vehicle technology to vehicle manufacturers, who will integrate it into purpose-built, self-driving vehicles. These vehicles will then be purchased by fleet operators and transportation service providers, and deployed on Lyft's platform, which boasts a network of over 40 million annual riders across North America.

Analysts view this partnership as a game-changer for Mobileye, significantly expanding its reach and revenue potential in the rapidly growing autonomous driving market. "Mobileye's partnership with Lyft is a major coup that could propel its technology into the mainstream," said Samantha Lee, an automotive technology analyst at Evercore ISI. "With Lyft's massive network and consumer demand for autonomous ride-hailing services, Mobileye could establish itself as a frontrunner in the race to commercialize self-driving vehicles."
