Uber Shows Interest in Collaboration with Tesla: “No One Wants to Compete with Musk”

Uber’s CEO Khosrowshahi expressed a desire to establish a partnership with Tesla in the autonomous taxi sector. Khosrowshahi stated, “No one wants to compete with Musk.” Uber CEO Dara Khosrowshahi mentioned that he is optimistic about the possibility of working with Tesla and Elon Musk once the company launches its autonomous taxi service. Musk previously announced that Tesla would introduce a paid robotaxi service by the summer of 2025. Khosrowshahi pointed out that having Tesla’s vehicles available for rides on Uber would benefit the company. He emphasized that nobody wants to challenge Tesla and Musk, and suggested that a partnership between the two companies would maximize revenue. Khosrowshahi also highlighted that the same principle applies in the food industry, where restaurants use various delivery services to reach more customers. Mentioning his previous interest in collaborating with Tesla, Khosrowshahi added, “Competing with Elon Musk is not an easy task, and we take it very seriously.” Uber currently has partnerships with other autonomous vehicle manufacturers like Waymo and Wayve.
