Elon Musk Denies Rumors Of Uber Co-Founder Travis Kalanick Joining Tesla To Lead Its Robotaxi Efforts
Tesla Inc (NASDAQ:TSLA) CEO Elon Musk on Sunday denied rumors of hiring Uber Technologies co-founder Travis Kalanick to advise or head the company's robotaxi division.
特斯拉首席執行官埃隆·馬斯克週日否認了僱傭優步聯合創始人特拉維斯·卡蘭尼克擔任公司機器人出租車部門顧問或負責人的傳言。
What Happened: "False," Musk said about the rumors on social media platform X, formerly Twitter.

"All that matters is improving Tesla self-driving AI such that miles between interventions is >> human," Musk said in another post about having pulled Kalanick into the Tesla universe.
馬斯克在另一篇關於把卡蘭尼克拉入特斯拉宇宙的帖子中說:"唯一重要的是，改進特斯拉的自動駕駛人工智能，使干預之間的里程數大於人類。"

The rumors of Kalanick joining Tesla kicked off after Musk started following the Uber co-founder on X last week despite the latter not posting anything since 2019. Some speculated that Kalanick might be roped into Tesla to spearhead its robotaxi division as the company gears to unveil its robotaxi product on Aug. 8.
在馬斯克上週開始關注優步聯合創始人後，卡蘭尼克加入特斯拉的傳言開始流傳，儘管後者自2019年以來沒有發佈任何內容。有人猜測卡蘭尼可能會被拉入特斯拉，帶領其機器人出租車部門，因爲該公司計劃於8月8日推出其機器人出租車產品。
Kalanick left his role as Uber CEO in 2017 and left its Board of Directors in 2019. The former Uber CEO is now CEO of City Storage Systems and runs the 10100 Fund.
卡蘭尼克於2017年離開了他在優步的CEO職務，並在2019年離開了董事會。這位前優步CEO現在是城市儲存系統的CEO，並經營10100基金。
Why It Matters: During Tesla's annual shareholder meeting in June, Musk said that Tesla's robotaxi fleet will operate like a combination of Airbnb and Uber with Tesla owning a part of the fleet and Tesla owners being able to let their private vehicles join and exit the fleet at will.
爲了實現特斯拉的機器人出租車計劃，馬斯克在6月份的特斯拉股東大會上表示，特斯拉的機器人出租車車隊將像Airbnb和Uber的結合體一樣運營，特斯拉擁有車隊的一部分，特斯拉車主可以隨意將其私人車輛加入和退出車隊。
The robotaxi unveil is part of Musk's efforts to turn Tesla from an automaker to an AI, robotics, and sustainable energy company and boost its value.
機器人出租車的發佈是馬斯克努力將特斯拉從一家汽車製造商轉變爲一家人工智能、機器人和可持續能源公司、提高其價值的一部分。
"While autonomous vehicle is a $5-$7 trillion market cap situation, Optimus is a $25 trillion market cap situation," Musk said last month.
馬士克上個月曾表示:"雖然自動駕駛汽車是一個市值5-7萬億美元的市場，但元老的市值是25萬億美元。"
He also said in April that dedicating to autonomous driving is a "blindly obvious move" for Tesla.
他還在4月份表示，將專注於自動駕駛技術是特斯拉的"明顯之舉"。
"Even if I got kidnapped by aliens tomorrow, Tesla will solve autonomy, maybe a little slower, but it would solve autonomy for vehicles at least," Musk said at the company's first-quarter earnings call. "If somebody doesn't believe Tesla is going to solve autonomy, I think they should not be an investor in the company."
“即使我明天被外星人綁架，特斯拉也將解決自主駕駛，可能會慢一些，但至少會解決車輛的自主駕駛問題，”馬斯克在公司第一季度業績會上說道。“如果有人不認爲特斯拉將解決自主駕駛技術問題，我認爲他們不應該成爲該公司的投資者。”
