Tesla CEO Elon Musk's timeline to have an autonomous ride-hailing service ready by next year is too aggressive, Uber CEO Dara Khosrwoshahi told CNBC.
"I thought, if he can do it, more power to him," Khosrwoshahi said."Our approach is a more conservative approach, as far as sensor technology and mapping technology. The software's going to get there, so I don't think that his vision is by any means wrong. I just think we disagree on timing."
Khosrowshahi's comment on sensors and mapping technology likely refers to Tesla's decision to forgo lidar sensors — which emit pulses of light to detect nearby objects — and rely on high-definition maps in its autonomous-driving technology. Tesla's major competitors, like Waymo, Cruise, and Uber, use lidar in their hardware suites.
"I think it will be quite a few years beyond [2020]," Khosrhowshahi said when asked how much his prediction for when self-driving vehicles will arrive differs from Musk's.Musk has said that Tesla's vehicles will be ready to take part in anby the end of 2020. The vehicles will be able to drive anywhere without any restrictions, Musk said during an event for investors in April.
