Tesla and Uber may team up to bring Tesla's new Cybercab Robotaxi to the ride-sharing platform, according to Uber CEO Dara Khosrowshahi.
Khosrowshahi, in an interview with the Financial Times, expressed his enthusiasm for partnering with Tesla and other companies in the autonomous vehicle industry.
He specifically mentioned his desire to see the Cybercab, a two-seater self-driving vehicle designed for ride-hailing, integrated into Uber's platform.
Tesla has already made strides in the autonomous vehicle space, unveiling its own Robotaxi platform and developing a prototype of its ride-hailing app.
While the company has plans to launch its own service, a partnership with Uber, a well-established player in the industry, could accelerate its market penetration.
Khosrowshahi acknowledged the challenges of competing with Tesla and Elon Musk but emphasised Uber's commitment to collaboration.
He stated, "We believe in the spirit of partnership; we'll see what Tesla does."
While ride-sharing is a highly competitive market, Tesla's strong brand and existing business model could give it a significant advantage.
A partnership with Uber could provide Tesla with a ready-made customer base and distribution network, helping it quickly scale its Robotaxi service.
