In a video interview, Uber co-founder Travis Kalanick argues Tesla is the dominant force of the coming physical AI age, citing its inference silicon, real-world data, battery chemistry, and manufacturing capabilities.
He invokes a historical pattern: every tech era has one company investors fear — startups used to die because Google or Uber could add a feature and erase a competitor's value. Today, he says, Tesla holds that same intimidating position in the physical world.
