Tesla, led by CEO Elon Musk, plans to launch an in-house robotaxi service, rejecting offers of collaboration from Uber. In discussions, Uber CEO Dara Khosrowshahi emphasized Tesla's intention to remain independent, positioning itself as a competitor to Uber and Waymo in the autonomous vehicle sector. Tesla has teased its ride-hailing application and plans to deploy its services soon, having started trials in California and Texas. Although there’s a competitive edge, Khosrowshahi suggested that a partnership could yield economic advantages, especially regarding demand in the autonomous vehicle landscape.
Uber CEO Dara Khosrowshahi has stated that Tesla intends to develop its own robotaxi platform without relying on Uber's existing infrastructure. This represents a competitive stance in the autonomous vehicle market.
Despite their competitive intentions, Khosrowshahi noted that collaboration between Uber and Tesla could be beneficial, stating, 'What we bring is demand to the AV ecosystem when demand often is quite variable.'
