Google's Street View head moves to Lyft to work on mapping
Lyft is refocusing its mapping efforts with a major new hire: Luc Vincent, who previously founded and led Google's Street View team. As a vice president of engineering at Lyft, Vincent will be in charge of the company's mapping and marketplace divisions, Recode reports. As you'd expect, he'll initially be focused on making the company's real-time map and navigation capabilities better, but he's also planning to improve how Lyft connects drivers and riders. Looking forward, Vincent also hopes to help out Lyft's self-driving initiatives (obviously, maps are a pretty big deal there).
