Why Volkswagen is convinced Waymo and Tesla are vulnerable in the $500 billion robotaxi race — ‘not a winner take all market'
The German carmaker is preparing to enter the market for autonomous ride-hailing services next year with its Volkswagen ID. Buzz AD. But instead of competing against existing transportation providers, it aims to work with them as a partner. The different approach comes amid continued popular resentment towards robotaxis. When Big Tech first began deploying self-driving cars to San Francisco two years ago, companies encountered something unusual—popular resistance. Angry residents would sabotage the robotaxis with the help of traffic cones, while the city's fire department chief herself would regularly malign them as a dangerous nuisance. Even today, during the recent outbreak of civil unrest in Los Angeles over mass deportations, protesters caused hundreds of thousands of dollars when they deliberately torched Waymo cars. One old economy company preparing to enter the autonomous ride-hailing space is taking a completely different approach when it launches next year. Germany's Volkswagen is wagering society at large is increasingly fed up with the collateral damage left behind by Silicon Valley's move-fast-and-break-things mentality. 'Our approach is different—we deliberately want to act as partners that build upon existing infrastructure,' VW Group executive Sascha Meyer told Fortune during a test drive of its robotaxi. 'A key point for social acceptance we believe is being a service provider whose presence is desired precisely because we will not be competing with systems already in place.' This week, VW revealed the series production version of its autonomous ride-hailing cab based on its retro-styled VW ID. Buzz EV microbus. Packaged together with the requisite fleet management software and digital customer booking platform, it wants to offer local transportation authorities and other commercial fleets a turnkey solution that can be integrated effortlessly into their service. While a Waymo or a Tesla plan to compete with existing providers, the German carmaker aims to be an equal partner working hand in glove with communities that want their help. Even if the first roughly 500 vehicles won't be deployed to Uber for use in Los Angeles until next year, VW believes the race for market share is only just beginning. It's convinced there will be more than enough demand to grab a bite out of the €350 billion-€450 billion in revenue McKinsey projects for autonomous ride-hailing services in North America and Europe by 2035. That's more than half a trillion dollars worth of growth over the next 10 years, potentially. Meyer runs MOIA, the mobility services subsidiary of the VW Group which will offer a high-tech version of the zero-emission Volkswagen ID. Buzz electric minivan complete with the backend software ecosystem around it. Fortune had a chance to ride along with Meyer in one as the robotaxi navigated its way—with a safety driver behind the wheel at all times—through the busy streets of Hamburg. Here in Germany's second-largest city, Volkswagen has quietly been testing the technology for several years now thanks to the active support of city officials. The white label service Volkswagen has in mind means all customers need to do is slap their logo on the vehicle and adorn the customer-facing front end with their respective corporate identity and they are ready to go. The group's go-to-market strategy heavily incorporates public transit authorities, an approach influenced by its European roots. With their extensive wealth of well-built mass transit networks, these mainly state and municipal-owned companies play a role in urban, suburban and ex-urban mobility so crucial it would be difficult to displace them. Take for example the BVG authority operated by the German capital of Berlin, with whom VW Group already has signeda letter of intent. Three million people entrust their everyday transportation needs to its fine meshed web of buses, streetcars, subways and commuter trains to get back and forth in the greater metropolitan area every day. A BVG-branded robotaxi integrated into its service should see far faster adoption than were Volkswagen to compete alongside it. In a way, VW's partnership approach to the market is a natural fit. Carmakers have decades of experience working closely with regulators from various agencies, state and federal, to ensure their cars conform with traffic safety and environmental standards. In Silicon Valley, however, regulators are often viewed with suspicion—at best an irritant, at worst the enemy. The debacle around robotaxi developer Cruise proved that: following a fateful October 2023 accident in San Francisco, the tech startup deliberately withheld crucial information from crash investigators, shattering what trust was placed in them by the state of California only weeks earlier. When Cruise owner General Motors found out, it acted swiftly to sideline the CEO, but by then it was too late and the reputational damage was done. Cruise ceased all operations and GM pulled out of the autonomous ride-hailing race in December. With crosstown rival Ford already giving up even earlier, only Volkswagen and Hyundai, through its Motional subsidiary, still remain in contention from the legacy car industry. The rest are AI tech companies like Waymo, Tesla, Amazon subsidiary Zoox as well as their foreign equivalents like China's Baidu and Wayve in the UK. Of course, Meyer knows that the competition has a head start they won't hand over willingly. 'Waymo has an indisputable lead, that's clear, and I don't believe they're going to slow down in any way,' he told Fortune. Then there's Tesla, which is gearing up to launch its own pilot in Austin due to launch Sunday. While Meyer readily admits it's likely only a matter of time until Tesla can graduate to a full commercial robotaxi service, he believes all is not lost. For one, neither is present in Europe, a market known for being far more risk-averse towards unproven technologies and quick to regulate against threats towards public safety. Tesla's vaunted Full Self-Driving (FSD) feature, a software stack that will imbue its robotaxis with the requisite intelligence, hasn't yet been approved for use anywhere on the continent. In fact, it's not even available as an advanced driver assist. This offers enough of an opportunity for Volkswagen to greenlight the production of at least 10,000 robotaxi vehicles, potentially more. And even if Waymo and Tesla do retain their lead by the time VW is ready, Meyer believes communities will demand some degree of healthy competition among autonomous ride hailing providers in order to ensure an optimum service for a low cost. 'No one, not even in the United States, will be happy if there's a monopoly,' he said. 'We don't believe it will be a winner-takes-all market.'

'We're not trying to be Silicon Valley': Inside Station F, where Paris is incubating the next tech and AI juggernauts
Paris's Station F, a converted train station, is a prolific incubator for tech startups. The incubator has doubled down on the AI boom and is getting more interest from US startups. Business Insider visited the vibrant space to see how it's driving France's tech boom. In Paris's balmy thirteenth district, an airy rail depot that's been converted into a startup incubator is now the epicenter of France's tech boom. Walking through Station F, it's hard not to see how the 366,000-square-foot space has been influenced by Silicon Valley, with its amenities like a huge cafeteria and an under-construction yoga studio that are reminiscent of Big Tech campuses. But Station F's director, Roxanne Varza, told Business Insider that it is not trying to become an American incubator. "We've been inspired by a lot of players, and we look up to Y Combinator. But we're not trying to be Silicon Valley," she said. Now, politics is helping drive international founders here, including Americans, Varza told BI during a recent visit. The election of Donald Trump and Brexit were among the biggest catalysts driving international founders to Station F, Varza told BI. After France, the US and UK are the most represented nationalities on campus, which houses entrepreneurs from 70 nationalities, Varza said. At times of political volatility, the campus has been a magnet for founders seeking a global outlook and a supply of talent. Trump 2.0 — and its aftermath, including the announcement of Stargate and DeepSeek — galvanized European founders to step up, Varza said. The US tech ecosystem secured $209 billion in VC funding in 2024, about 17 times more than France. But Paris is catching up to its global counterparts. In 2025, technology research platform Dealroom billed the city as Europe's new tech champion, overtaking London's mantle. From 2017 to 2024, the combined enterprise value of startups based in Paris increased 5.3 times, more than any other European tech hub. Climate tech founders in particular have been coming from the US to Station F amid the Trump administration cutting incentives for green industries in the US, Varza said. Materials discovery startup Entalpic, which launched in 2024, has had a flurry of US applicants vying for jobs at the company since the start of the year, its cofounder, Alexandre Duval, told BI. Duval had planned to move his startup out of Station F once it reached 20 employees, but decided to stay. "We have so many resources here: meeting rooms, onboarding, events, opportunities to meet people. It's good," he said. Station F, the handiwork of French billionaire Xavier Neil, launched in 2017 to drive entrepreneurship in France's tech ecosystem. The Station F team accepts around 40 startups every month. In addition to access to the incubator's coworking space, startups get resources and mentorship, including from government officials and Big Tech companies, such as Meta and Microsoft, that have offices at Station F. Station F's flagship Founders Program offers founders workshops and masterclasses. In return, the incubator takes 1% equity — a more favourable figure than the 6% taken by Y Combinator. The incubator also aims to write checks of $50,000 to $100,000 to around 20 upstarts each year. The result is a hubbub of innovators collaborating and ideating all days of the week — a far cry from how some corners of LinkedIn see Europe's tech ecosystem as the butt of the joke for its supposed lax work culture compared to Silicon Valley. Station F has welcomed everyone from the prime minister of Ethiopia to the CEO of Cisco — and the morning I arrive, the CEO of GitHub is scheduled to speak for a Q&A as part of VivaTech, France's flagship tech event that attracted speakers such as Nvidia's Jensen Huang. "The No. 1 reason people come here is for the access to people," Varza added. Like many of its international counterparts, Station F has doubled down on the AI boom. Government initiatives under France's president Emmanuel Macron, as well as generous financing from the country's national bank, Bpifrance, have galvanized the region's AI startups. In 2023, French AI startups raised $1.9 billion, per PitchBook data. In 2024, this figure rose by more than 50% to $2.98 billion. Notable rounds included Mistral's $600 million raise in June 2024 and H's mammoth $220 million seed round in May 2024. So far this year, French AI companies have raised $1.7 billion in VC funding, and Macron announced in February an additional $112 billion in private sector funding earmarked for the country's AI ecosystem. High-profile investors such as Andreessen Horowitz, General Catalyst, and Lightspeed Ventures have flocked to back prolific AI startups founded in France, such as Mistral, Dust, and Poolside. Open-source AI company Hugging Face, now valued at $4.5 billion, was once incubated in Station F. Now, Varza said, around 40% of France's AI startups are spinning out of the program. In 2024, 34 out of 40 of the top startups touted by Station F — its "Future 40" — were AI companies. "Station F is one of the biggest AI communities in Europe," Varza says. "It's also an entry point for so many tier one investors coming to Europe — and we're seeing more Series A and B rounds too." Beyond helping AI startups raise financing, Station F also participates in regulatory debates about France's tech ecosystem, Varza added. "Right now, the government is talking about how we can fiscally incentivise AI companies and push creation. We're in those discussions very actively." I was keen to speak to AI and climate founders, and within two minutes, Varza had grabbed two people for me to speak to. It was a reflection of how Station F operates: touting collaboration over competition. Despite the vast space, I saw founders from different startups huddled together in various pockets of the station, congregating for in-house events such as Q&As, as well as the bustling restaurant space. "We saw incredible things happen when people were working in close spaces," Varza said. "You see everything from VR and AI companies collaborating — and even companies winding down and neighbouring teams acquiring them." She recalled how one startup in the incubator wanted to pivot and copied a neighbouring company's idea. "It's our only copycat story, but they both ended up being pretty successful," she added. Station F is working on initiatives with Japan and the Gulf region, Varza said — but what excites her most is the opportunity to take what they've built in Paris and "build those bridges" internationally across Europe.

Best Stock to Buy Right Now: Realty Income vs. W.P. Carey
Realty Income is the largest net lease REIT. The second runner-up in the net lease REIT space is W.P. Carey. Realty Income's yield is 5.6% while W.P. Carey's is also about 5.6%. 10 stocks we like better than Realty Income › If you are looking at buying stock in Realty Income (NYSE: O), you should probably also be considering competitor W.P. Carey (NYSE: WPC). There are a number of reasons for this, from their net-lease business models to their dividends. Here's a look at some key differences and similarities between these two real estate investment trusts (REITs). To start, Realty Income and W.P. Carey do very (very!) similar things. They both own single-tenant properties leased using net leases, which require tenants to pay for most property-level expenses. They both have exposure to retail, warehouse, and industrial assets, with each dipping their toes into unique, one-off properties. They both have portfolios with exposure to North America and Europe. And both have very long histories. W.P. Carey actually helped to popularize the net lease concept before it was a public entity. In many ways, the two net lease REITs are kind of interchangeable. In fact, they even have similar dividend yields, with Realty Income at 5.6% and W.P. Carey offering just a bit more than 5.6%. But no two companies are exactly the same. Realty Income, for instance, is a fairly large company with a roughly $50 billion market cap. W.P. Carey's market cap is a little under $14 billion. That said, the latter is the second-largest net lease REIT. Realty Income just happens to be an industry giant. That extends to the respective portfolios, with Realty Income owning over 15,600 properties and W.P. Carey "just" 1,600 properties or so. That difference requires a bit more clarification, however, because W.P. Carey is more heavily tilted toward industrial and warehouse assets, which tend to be larger. Realty Income's focus is more on retail properties, which tend to be smaller. In some ways, their portfolios are actually somewhat complementary to each other. It wouldn't be a bad plan to own both of these industry-leading net lease REITs. However, there's another big difference that might bother some dividend investors. Realty Income has increased its payout annually for 30 consecutive years. W.P. Carey reset its dividend lower in late 2023 after making the decision to exit the office sector, a move Realty Income made a few years earlier (without a dividend cut). Another difference is that Realty Income pays out its dividend monthly, while W.P. Carey pays on a quarterly basis. W.P. Carey quickly restarted increasing its dividend every quarter, as it was doing prior to the dividend reduction, but its streak still falls well short of Realty Income's. That said, Realty Income is so large that it requires massive investments each year to grow. That shows up in the dividend, which it pays monthly, but increases quarterly, as well. But the last increase was a tiny 0.2% or so (2.3% annualized). W.P. Carey's smaller size allows it to grow more quickly, with its most recent quarterly dividend increase amounting to roughly 1.1% (3.5% annualized). For investors who want a combination of yield and dividend growth, W.P. Carey probably comes out on top here. In the end, Realty Income is something of a slow-moving industry giant. It has a strong foundation, but it isn't going to excite you. W.P. Carey is smaller and more aggressive, leading to faster growth. Given the similar yields, Realty Income will probably interest more conservative types while W.P. Carey will attract more aggressive income investors. Or, as noted, you could buy them both, which might give you the best of both worlds.
