Goldman Sachs Research forecasts the global robotaxi market will reach $415 billion by 2035, identifying Waymo and Tesla as leading potential participants.

Tesla could narrow the gap if its autonomous software becomes sufficiently reliable for broad deployment, with its vehicle architecture potentially supporting large-scale rollout and future licensing.
