The fleet is expected to scale into the hundreds.Meanwhile, Tesla TSLA is preparing its own move. During Tesla’s Q1 earnings call on April 23, Elon Musk said, “The team and I are laser-focused on bringing robotaxi to Austin in June.

Again, the car is terrific,” he said, adding that he owns a Tesla himself.Despite Khosrowshahi’s openness to collaboration—saying Uber would “love to work with” Tesla—Musk isn’t quite on the same wavelength. During the Q1 earnings call, he took a jab at Waymo’s higher production costs, saying the company’s robotaxis cost “way mo’ money.” Former Waymo CEO John Krafcik told Business Insider, “Tesla has never competed with Waymo — they’ve never sold a robotaxi ride to a public rider, but they’ve sold a lot of cars.”Tesla’s robotaxi ambitions will go head-to-head with Uber and Waymo in Austin. Though Tesla has not yet offered paid robotaxi rides, the company is aggressively promoting its upcoming June launch.Meanwhile, Uber’s broader momentum continues. The company’s stock is up nearly 40% year-to-date, approaching record highs. Analysts attribute this surge to Uber’s push into autonomous vehicles and expanded delivery offerings, according to Investor’s Business Daily.<ul> <li>Be part of the next med-tech breakthrough for only $350 — 500+ surgeries already done with nView's AI system.</li> <li>‘Scrolling To UBI' — Deloitte's #1 fastest-growing software company allows users to earn money on their phones.
