Dara Khosrowshahi on robotaxi ‘mission control’ and Uber’s next billion-dollar business

Uber changed the way people work and the way they move. Now CEO Dara Khosrowshahi is trying to figure out what role people play in his business, as AI and autonomous vehicles change the economics of transportation and impossibly, make it easier for people — or things — to get from Point A to Point B. He talks with Semafor about his AI-driven robotaxi mission control, what self-driving cars will look like, how we’ll interact with Uber ten years from now, his own forays into vibe-coding apps — and what it means for companies everywhere. NOTE: Khosrowshahi, who was born in Iran, reveals in this interview what he told Donald Trump, in person, about his views on the regime. We recorded with Dara last week, before the US launched its attack. Sign up to get Semafor Business in your inbox. Compound Interest from Semafor Business is supported by Amazon Business.
