Tesla unveiled its robotaxi service, called “Cybercab,” in October, claiming it will roll out an unsupervised driving service across certain vehicles this year in Austin. Texas. The company also plans to begin producing a fleet of Cybercab vehicles without pedals and steering wheels as soon as 2026.

During an earnings call last month, Tesla CEO Elon Musk said that the electric vehicle maker would start offering paid rides in June for its full self-driving robotaxi service. Now Uber CEO Dara Khosrowshahi is making it clear that he doesn't want to compete with Tesla — he wants to partner with the company to offer robotaxi rides through Uber's ride-hailing platform.

Waymo started offering self-driving rides through its Waymo One app and is now expanding to Uber. Dara Khosrowshahi suggests Tesla could follow the same path.

Customers in Austin, Texas, can now sign up to be one of the first riders of Uber’s autonomous vehicles when they become available in the city in March.

Tesla's Cybercab, or robo-taxi, was announced last October and is due to hit the roads in Texas this June as part of a trial roll-out.
