Uber Technologies Inc chief executive officer Dara Khosrowshahi said Elon Musk was not open to making Tesla Inc’s planned robotaxis available on the ride-sharing platform, making Uber a future competitor.

"I’ve had conversations with him at this point,” Khosrowshahi said Friday in an interview with Bloomberg TV’s Manus Cranny at the FII conference in Miami. "They want to build it alone, so to some extent in Austin, we and Waymo will be competing with Tesla when they launch,” he said, referring to Alphabet Inc’s autonomous-vehicle unit. "Life is long, but we would love to partner with them.”
