Uber CEO Seeks Tesla Partnership as Robotaxi Competition Looms

Dara Khosrowshahi emphasizes collaboration over rivalry with Tesla, citing economic benefits for both companies.

Uber CEO Dara Khosrowshahi expressed interest in partnering with Tesla to integrate its upcoming Cybercab robotaxi into Uber's platform.
Tesla plans to launch its autonomous Cybercab service in Austin, Texas, this June, marking a potential competitor in the ride-hailing market.
Khosrowshahi highlighted Tesla's exceptional capabilities in both hardware and software, stating that competing with the company is challenging.
Uber has shifted away from developing its own autonomous driving technology, focusing instead on partnerships with companies like Waymo and Wayve.
The Uber CEO believes a Tesla partnership could mirror successful collaborations in other industries, such as McDonald's working with Uber Eats to maximize revenue.
