Tesla has taken a significant step toward expanding its autonomous vehicle ambitions by publishing an interest form for businesses looking to buy Cybercab fleets or support infrastructure for its robotaxi network. This move, released ahead of Tesla’s Cybercab event in Austin, signals the company’s growing interest in collaborating with third parties, even though it does not confirm that Tesla will directly sell its autonomous vehicles to outside operators. The form, titled “Robotaxi Network Interest Form,” suggests Tesla is exploring new ways to grow its autonomous ride-sharing ecosystem beyond its own operations. Elon Musk, Tesla’s CEO, has long envisioned a future where Tesla vehicles, equipped with self-driving technology, could be used as low-cost robotaxis. At Tesla’s 2019 Autonomy Day, he outlined a plan where Tesla owners could add their autonomous cars to a ride-sharing app, similar to Uber’s model. However, that vision did not come to fruition as expected, and instead, Tesla focused on testing and managing its own robotaxi fleet, starting with the Model Y and now the new Cybercab. Until recently, Tesla seemed focused on running its robotaxi operations internally. The newly released interest form indicates Tesla is now considering partnerships with other companies, potentially opening the door for third-party operators to use or manage Tesla’s autonomous vehicles. The form asks interested parties to choose from several options, including purchasing Cybercab fleets, building mobility hubs, collaborating on events, or proposing other ideas. This move could help Tesla scale its robotaxi network more quickly by leveraging external partners. Other companies are already entering the robotaxi fleet management space. Moove, an African fintech startup, is expanding its autonomous fleet management business and currently operates Waymo’s vehicles in cities like Phoenix, Miami, and Las Vegas. The company, which recently raised $250 million, plans to expand to London. Meanwhile, traditional rental car companies like Avis and Hertz have partnered with Uber to enter the robotaxi market. Tesla’s outreach to these players could encourage more small businesses to join the space, helping Tesla grow its autonomous ride-sharing presence faster.
