“We’re already working with Travis in the restaurant space, and I have enormous respect for him—he’s our founder. If opportunities emerge in other areas, we’d certainly look at them seriously because there are very few entrepreneurs I trust as much,” Khosrowshahi said during his five-day India visit last week.
The comments come amid renewed momentum in the autonomous driving space, with companies such as Waymo, Tesla and Zoox accelerating commercial deployments and partnerships.
