Tesla is firmly committed to launching its own in-house robotaxi services, as stated by CEO Elon Musk.

As part of its strategy for the robotaxi market, Tesla plans to introduce a two-seat, steering wheel-less vehicle known as the 'Cybercab' in October 2024.

During its Q1 2024 shareholder meeting, Tesla showcased a mobile app interface for ride-hailing and is currently testing the service with employees in California and Texas.

Recent developments have revealed hints of a mobile ride-hailing app in Tesla's source code, suggesting ongoing preparations for a future rollout.

The expected deployment of 'Unsupervised' versions of Tesla's Full Self Driving (FSD) technology is set to begin in June 2025, positioning Tesla to compete directly with other companies in the driverless taxi sector.

Uber CEO Dara Khosrowshahi confirmed that Musk prefers to operate Tesla's robotaxis independently, rather than seeking a partnership with Uber.

Despite this competitive stance, Khosrowshahi suggested that there could be potential economic benefits from collaboration between Uber and Tesla in the autonomous vehicle market.

Khosrowshahi also mentioned discussions with Musk, highlighting the competitive landscape that includes Waymo, which already offers driverless ride-hailing in several U.S. cities.
