(Bloomberg) -- Uber Technologies Inc. is working with General Motors Co., a major backer of ride-hailing rival Lyft Inc., to help drivers get access to vehicles.
The automaker's Maven car-sharing service will let Uber drivers lease cars from GM's fleet in San Francisco.

GM's Maven unit will test the program with Uber in the startup's hometown for 90 days. GM is interested in expanding the business with Uber after that period, said Annalisa Esposito Bluhm, a spokeswoman for the automaker.
After the Detroit car company introduced Maven early this year, it signed a partnership with Lyft to provide short-term rentals to those who pick up passengers through the app. GM initially picked Lyft, in part, because Uber had little interest in working with a major carmaker, said a person familiar with the matter.
