Tesla has released a form inviting businesses to join its Cybercab fleet or invest in its infrastructure, hinting at a broader vision for its autonomous vehicles beyond its own operations.

CEO Elon Musk has long envisioned a future where Tesla owners could earn by renting out their self-driving cars, but Tesla has instead focused on its own fleet of Cybercabs. The new form suggests a shift towards allowing third-party operators to join the ride.

The move reflects a growing trend in the industry, with companies like Moove and Avomo offering autonomous fleet management services. These firms, which previously focused on financing and managing traditional ride-hailing services, are now expanding into the autonomous space.

Tesla’s open-door policy could lead to a more competitive and diverse landscape for autonomous ride-hailing, potentially accelerating the adoption of self-driving technology across different regions and industries.
