Uber eyes Cybercab partnership as autonomous vehicle market stalls

The news: Following the Cybercab’s lackluster unveiling last week, Uber CEO Dara Khosrowshahi says he’d like to partner with Tesla in the robotaxi game.

  • Khosrowshahi said he’d like to get Tesla’s upcoming robotaxis onto the Uber platform, per The Financial Times, as an addition to Uber’s existing partnership with Waymo.
  • Autonomous vehicles may not be a winner-takes-all market, according to Khosrowshahi, and Uber could try to become a competitor with Tesla if the EV company isn’t open to collaboration.
