Tesla’s Robotaxi Launch Challenges Uber and Lyft with AI-Driven Mobility Shift
Elon Musk's Tesla has entered the ridehailing arena with its robotaxi service in Austin, Texas, marking a strategic pivot from electric vehicle manufacturing to AI-powered transportation. The move signals Tesla's ambition to leverage its Full Self-Driving technology as a competitive edge against incumbents Uber and Lyft.
Wall Street skepticism about Tesla's autonomous driving capabilities is being tested as the company deploys years of real-world data to refine its systems. Success could redefine Tesla as an AI platform rather than just an automaker, disrupting the $100B+ mobility market.
