Starting today, some Lyft passengers will be able to travel through the Seaport in driverless cars as part of an agreement between the ride-hailing giant and the self-driving car company nuTonomy.

"We want to let members of the public experience driverless vehicles firsthand, so they can better understand the impact this new technology will have on their lives," nuTonomy said in a blog post. "Based on feedback from pilot participants, nuTonomy’s engineers will adapt and improve our system, so that we can deliver an autonomous transportation experience that is extremely safe, efficient, and comfortable."

Riders will be limited to areas where nuTonomy's cars are permitted to drive, including the Seaport neighborhood and to South Station.

NuTonomy already ran its own pilot tests last month, ferrying dozens of passengers to South Station.

NuTonomy said "select" passengers will be able to request rides, but it is unclear how those riders will be selected.
