The Electric Viking · Uber Is Trying to BLOCK Tesla and Waymo Robotaxis — Here's Their Plan · 28 Jul 2026 podcast

Or are they just thinking in their own genius minds that they know better than Tesla and that Tesla must have LiDAR or radars and that would then make their car safer?

The irony here is, guys, that, I mean, Tesla is number one in terms of full self-driving worldwide when it comes to actual vehicles, a vehicle company, or to be honest, any company that can mass produce a product.

Xpeng's probably number two, and both of them are using Vision only.

Bill says, operators must complete 50,000 miles of supervised in-state testing with a human safety driver.

submit complete safety certifications, proof of insurance, and law enforcement interaction plans, report all vehicle collisions directly to the New Jersey Department of Transportation within five days.

The only issue with this is you've got to self-report.

So if you're the test dummy, are you likely to actually report that you had to take over when there's billions of dollars on the line?

I mean, what happened with General Motors and their cruise division?

Clearly, they were not reporting things, and that's why the whole thing was shut down.

So putting on a requirement to operate exclusively on a hybrid network is a clear attack on Tesla, less so on Waymo, but to some degree it is.

And you can see there's some friction here between Uber and Waymo.

For good reason, Uber's feeling threatened.

Uber's legislative push is causing some serious issues.

The Financial Times report said that Waymo is exploring options to exit its operational deal with Uber.

Waymo has notified Uber that it intends to launch independently, complete with its own app in key markets like Austin and Atlanta when its contract permits end in January, 2028.

So Uber all of a sudden is reacting to the fact that Waymo is going to cancel the deal.

And apparently the relationship between these two companies has been not good.

Issues have been around service quality and routing disputes.

Waymo is questioning Uber's vehicle cleanliness and routing management after dozens of cars were clogged.
