Tesla Cybercab: No access to Uber, says Uber CEO

Tesla has made it clear that cybercabs will not be available via the Uber platform. According to Uber CEO Dara Khosrowshahi plans to Tesla, to operate its robotaxi service exclusively via its own app in order to retain complete control over the entire user process.

Exclusive control of the Robotaxi network
Tesla wants to control the entire process internally - from requesting a vehicle to completing the journey. This strategy ensures that all aspects of autonomous mobility, from passenger summoning to ride completion, remain under Tesla's control. Dara Khosrowshahi emphasized that Elon Musk and his team prefer to develop the technology independently rather than relying on existing platforms such as Uber.

Competitive environment and challenges
Although an integration with Uber could bring economic benefits, for example by utilizing an already established user base, it is clear that Tesla is determined to go its own way. The brand is focusing on an end-to-end experience that is designed to impress in terms of both safety and cost optimization. Tesla plans to reduce robotaxi rates to as low as eight cents per mile - a price that could far undercut traditional ride-hailing providers.

Impact on the market
The decision by Tesla, to keep cybercabs off the Uber platform underlines the company's strategic focus on autonomous mobility solutions. While Tesla while it aims to secure a clear competitive advantage, in the short term this could lead to some uncertainty among users who are used to existing platforms. In the long term Tesla that its own app and comprehensive ecosystem will facilitate the switch and promote the acceptance of autonomous driving services.

Conclusion
Tesla remains consistent with its vision of retaining complete control over the autonomous driving experience. The decision not to offer Cybercabs through Uber reflects Tesla's ambition to create a seamless and cost-effective robotaxi experience that could revolutionize the market in the long term. This exclusive approach could prove to be a decisive competitive advantage, provided that Tesla can realize the promised cost reductions and high quality standards.
