This question is an initial ice breaker that serves four roles. First, they want you to feel more at ease throughout the interview, which better serves the needs of you and the interviewer. It is intended to get you to lower your guard and be more candid with them in your answers, with the aim that you'll be relaxed enough through the interview to lower your guard and expose any red flags. It also serves to answer if you have a reliable mode of transportation to get to and from work without persistent attendance issues. Since it is illegal to ask an interviewee if they have a car, this question may seek to reveal the same information without asking it directly. Finally, Navigation is part of Lyft's culture, and they are curious about how you go about successfully navigating your way to the destination.

Feel free to open things up to a more conversational tone for this introductory question, but be mindful to have a more professional tone when you dive into the interview after this. You want your interviewer to be more open and receptive to you as a candidate, but you don't want to get too friendly or conversational, as you might reveal something about yourself that might raise a red flag for them, whether misconstrued or not.

"The drive was great, and I had no problem finding my way here. I know this area like the back of my hand, and when I read the address, I knew exactly how to get here. There were no problems and no traffic. In all honesty, I just Zen out when I'm in my car. I love my car. I keep it like new and always use that time to listen to audiobooks, podcasts, or NPR and catch up on my news."
