Uber CEO Dara Khosrowshahi said he agrees with Elon Musk that the future of mobility is electric, but he doesn't think truly autonomous 'robotaxis' will be on streets by next year.
Uber CEO Dara Khosrowshahi told CNBC he agrees with Tesla CEO Elon Musk that the future of mobility is electric, but he disagrees with Musk that truly autonomous"robotaxis" will debut next year.
"First of all, it's got to be electric," the CEO said."We think that's a no-brainer. It's good for the environment. It's where the world is going. And we're playing our part, for example, in London to move it electric." He added that Uber, of course, thinks the future of mobility also has to be"shared."
Tesla CEO Elon Musk recently told investors he is ready to take Tesla into a new, driverless era. The company should have a million vehicles capable of functioning as driverless robotaxis on the road by the end of 2020, he said. He also told investors that self-driving technology and services will help his electric car company grow to a $500 billion market cap.
Musk has also promised investors and fans that Tesla's self-driving cars will be able to work 100 hours a week, generating tens of thousands of dollars in income for their owners. He has also said that Tesla should be able to win regulators over to approve Tesla robotaxis for commercial use in the near future, at least in some locales.Khosrowshahi struck a more sober tone about a driverless future.
