Uber CEO Dara Khosrowshahi: Self-driving Cars, Immigration & Israel/Palestine

In this third episode of MD MEETS, Axel Springer
CEO Mathias Döpfner sits down with Uber CEO Dara
Khosrowshahi for a sweeping conversation that moves from
the future of transportation to the forces that shape human
destiny.


Khosrowshahi reflects on a world in motion - where cars drive
themselves, cities breathe easier, and mobility becomes a shared
experience rather than a private luxury. He speaks about Uber’s
bold bet on electric and autonomous vehicles, air taxis, and
delivery drones, painting a vision of cities where movement is
frictionless and freedom is redefined.


But the discussion turns deeply personal when Khosrowshahi
recounts his journey from Tehran to America after the Iranian
Revolution - an immigrant’s story of loss, gratitude, and second
chances. He shares his conflicted emotions about his homeland,
the lessons of humility from his father, and how those values
shaped his leadership through controversy and change.


From artificial intelligence to immigration, from the loneliness
of power to the humility of listening, this conversation explores
what it means to move - not just through space, but through life
itself.
