Uber vs. Tesla, Robotaxi Timelines, and the End of Human Driving | Uber CEO Dara Khosrowshahi | #243
April 1, 2026

– By 2029, Uber says it expects to facilitate more autonomous rides than anyone else in the world.
– Uber sees AVs as a trillion-dollar market, with fleet owners potentially earning ~9% yields.
– Waymo is already a major partner in Austin and Atlanta, giving Uber a real-time seat inside the rollout of commercial AVs.
– If every new car sold in 10 years is autonomy-ready, the platform owning demand may end up mattering more than the platform building the stack.
