Summary

The term "Digital Shepherds" was envisioned by Elon Musk to describe the future owners of Tesla Robotaxis. These individuals would leverage Uber's network to generate revenue by deploying their autonomous vehicles on the platform. This concept is a key component of Uber CEO Dara Khosrowshahi's vision for the future of transportation, which heavily relies on autonomous driving and a hybrid network of human drivers and self-driving cars. Uber aims to utilize its network effects to support the broader autonomous vehicle ecosystem, maximizing vehicle utilization for partners like Tesla, despite their differing approaches to autonomous technology (Tesla's computer vision vs. Waymo's sensor-heavy method).
