Tesla Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) CEO Elon Musk has dreamed for years of having vehicles that don't require a driver and can take a passenger from one place to another. On Thursday, Musk's vision could be realized with the likely unveiling of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/24/10/41274987/how-to-watch-tesla-robotaxi-day-live-elon-musks-autonomous-vehicle-event-is-here">the Tesla Robotaxi.</a>
However, a new survey finds that when it comes to demand and consumer trust, the robot axis might not be ready for mass adoption.
What Happened: A new J.D. Power survey of consumers tests the experience and ratings of passengers who have taken a ride in <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/10/41212796/tesla-robotaxi-day-preview-move-over-autonomous-vehicles-analyst-says-this-positive">an autonomous vehicle.</a>
The 2024 U.S. Robotaxi Experience Study <a href="https://www.jdpower.com/business/press-releases/2024-us-robotaxi-experience-study">found </a>that consumers had an average level of satisfaction of 8.53 on a 10-point scale.
The study, which took place in August, is based on the five categories of comfort and convenience, initiating the ride, riding in the vehicle, service availability and cost, and vehicle technology. Of the five categories, technology scored the highest.
Consumers who rode in a robotaxi had a 76% consumer confidence score for a fully automated, self-driving vehicle. While that score is relatively high, the consumer confidence score of people for fully automated, self-driving vehicles who have not ridden in a robotaxi was only 20%.
When asked to describe their ideal robotaxi service, respondents prioritized safety, with 78% selecting it as the most important factor, followed by reliability at 71% and trustworthiness at 66%.
One of the most important consumer requests in the survey was for the robotaxi to offer an emergency button to connect to local emergency services. Other requests were for the ability to select vehicles based on safety features and having the route set beforehand.
Companies mentioned in the report, which had their vehicles tested, include:
<ul>
<li>Cruise, which is majority owned by General Motors Company (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GM#NYSE">GM</a>)</li>
<li>May Mobility</li>
<li>Motional, which is a joint venture between Hyundai (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HYMLF#OTC">HYMLF</a>) and Aptiv (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/APTV#NYSE">APTV</a>)</li>
<li>Waymo, a subsidiary of Alphabet Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>)</li>
<li>Zoox, a subsidiary of Amazon.com Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>)</li>
</ul>
The study occurred in the five markets of Dallas, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Phoenix and San Francisco.

</ul>
Why It's Important: The study finds relatively high trust and satisfaction ratings for consumers who experience a robotaxi in some of the largest cities that have approved or are testing the technology.
Another takeaway from the report is that even living in a city with robotaxis and higher consumer awareness can improve trust in the technology. The study found that consumer confidence was 34% for people who had not ridden in a robotaxi and lived in one of the cities with robotaxis in operation.
"The robotaxi segment is still anyone's game, given that most people are not familiar with robotaxi brands and haven't formed a clear associative imagery," J.D. Power Senior Director of user experience benchmarking and technology Kathleen Rizk said.
Rizk added that the companies with robotaxis need to "look beyond their deployment markets and find ways to educate and build trust with all consumers."

<div>Experts push infrastructure to boost cross-border trade</div>

MONTERREY, Mexico — With nearshoring accelerating trade growth between the U.S. and Mexico, experts said both countries need to focus on infrastructure, technology, policies and cargo security to keep goods flowing seamlessly.

"The reality is there's never been a time when U.S.-Mexico trade was more important than it is right now" Mark Yeager, CEO of Chicago-based Redwood Logistics, said Tuesday during the company's inaugural Cross-Border Logistics Council.

The two-day event brought together more than 75 shippers, technology companies and trade professionals in Monterrey to discuss cross-border supply chains, nearshoring trends and other topics.

"This is our Olympics, our World Series. It can be challenging, complex and can require patience and perseverance, but we also all know that that kind of complexity comes with opportunity — opportunity for all of us" Yeager said.

U.S. trade with the world totaled $5.1 trillion in 2023, according to data from the U.S. Census Bureau. Mexico did almost $800 billion in trade with the United States last year, once again becoming the nation's top trade partner.

Infrastructure that would increase trade across North America was a major talking point at the event. 

"I think you're seeing growth all across the U.S.-Mexico border … and Laredo [Texas] is where the rubber meets the road" said Jordan Dewart, president of Redwood Mexico. "I think that's where the infrastructure is headed. That's where the main investment deals on highways to access the border are going. If you go to Laredo right now, the amount of new warehousing construction, new trucking facilities construction, is just staggering. There are miles and miles of construction. If you drive up I-35, you can see the dust clouds from 50 miles away from all construction. So I think everyone will benefit."

Israel Delgado, CEO of San Diego-based Express Service Transport Inc., said the trucking industry on both sides of the border is being affected by government regulations such as Mexico's Carta Porte Complement (CCP).

The CCP is a digital tax document issued to shipments aimed at protecting the transfer of legitimate goods across Mexico. It was introduced in 2021 but has faced criticism from members of the trade community critical of the regulation adding more complexity to cross-border transactions.

"The Carta Porte is one of the biggest issues that we have experienced over the last few years" Delgado said.

Delgado, who is also vice president of the northeast region of Mexico for Canacar, Mexico's trucking chamber of commerce, said the country faces a shortage of drivers as well.

"The lack of drivers is something that we need to take a look into" Delgado said. "We've been pushing so hard in trade shows. We have 56,000 driver jobs open in Mexico today."

He said Canacar promoting truck driving and logistics jobs to men and women in Mexico. 

"A lot of moms want to jump into trucks, and I think we need to let go of the old mindset that women cannot do the job" Delgado said. "We have less than 5,000 women participating in trucking. So we need to support women in Mexico and do whatever it takes."

Marianna Raphael, general director of Connecting Mexico, said cargo security is something Mexico has to address. Connecting Mexico is a Mexico City-based organization that helps promote investment in the country.

"I think that security is a huge thing. Our current government has focused on the militarization of everything. They are talking about a more specialized military force to take care of security on roads" Raphael said. "I do think that there needs to be a different approach on security, to show people that are afraid of having to drive or for companies, it's good to know the government is there."

The expansion in Puebla includes the construction of a 1 million-square-foot facility to manufacture parts for automotive seat assemblies. The parts will be for one of Kirchhoff's largest clients, Volkswagen, which also has manufacturing operations in Puebla.

Kirchhoff Automotive is based in Iserlohn, Germany. The company has 27 plants in 11 countries, including seven in the U.S., and employs more than 8,000 people globally. 

<h2 id="h-wsi-named-operator-of-cpkc-transload-terminal">WSI named operator of CPKC transload terminal</h2>

Third-party logistics provider Warehouse Services Inc. (WSI) has been selected as the operator of CPKC's Zacha Transload Terminal in Dallas.

The terminal includes 9,800 square feet of track capacity and 50 acres of outdoor storage for commodities such as steel, lumber, plastics, aggregates and agricultural products.

"The Dallas market is critical to showcasing the value of a combined CPKC network" Coby Bullard, CPKC senior vice president, sales and marketing, said in a news release. "Dallas is one of North America's fastest growing metropolitan areas and we believe that selecting WSI will drive growth and efficiency for our mutual customers."

Appleton, Wisconsin-based WSI operates a network of 30 logistics and rail-served warehouses across the U.S.

What Happened:&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://electrek.co/2024/03/03/hyundai-ioniq-5-refresh-details-ota-updates-bigger-battery-and-a-rear-wiper/" rel="noreferrer noopener">Electrek</a>&nbsp;reported on Thursday that Hyundai has updated its Korean website with information regarding the upcoming refresh of its popular Ioniq 5 EV. While the exterior remains largely the same, the vehicle now comes with a host of new interior features.
The revamped model includes a larger battery, increasing the car&#8217;s capacity from 77.4kWh to 84kWh, potentially extending its range from 285 miles to roughly 301 miles.&nbsp;
Despite the larger battery, Hyundai assures that the Ioniq 5 will still charge from 10%-80% in 18 minutes.
Notable exterior changes include new colors, an exterior charge status indicator, and a slightly larger rear spoiler. The addition of a rear window wiper addresses a significant criticism of the original model. The vehicle&#8217;s length has also increased by 20mm due to changes in the bumpers.

Inside, new features such as Hyundai&#8217;s &#8220;Digital Key 2&#8221;, improved sound and vibration dampening, and a redesigned steering wheel with &#8220;pixel&#8221; lights have been introduced. The most significant interior change, however, is the addition of Hyundai&#8217;s &#8220;Connected Car Navigation Cockpit&#8221; software and over-the-air updates, a feature already present on the Ioniq 6 sedan.
These updates are currently detailed on Hyundai&#8217;s Korean website, and it is yet to be determined whether all changes will be incorporated into the U.S. version. The price for the refreshed Ioniq 5 remains unchanged in Korea, leading to expectations that U.S. pricing will follow suit.
Why It Matters: The Ioniq 5 refresh comes in the wake of&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/asia/24/02/37174589/south-koreas-answer-to-teslas-model-y-byd-dominance-a-new-ev-policy-that-favors-hyundai-kia" rel="noreferrer noopener">a new EV policy</a>&nbsp;introduced by the South Korean government aimed at supporting domestic automakers Hyundai and Kia while addressing competition from Tesla&#8217;s Model Y and BYD Co.

Hyundai's Tesla Model Y Challenger Just Got A Bigger Battery And A Whole Lot Of New Features In Refreshed Avatar

Bayerische Motoren Werke AG&#8216;s (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BMWYY#OTC">BMWYY</a>) unit BMW Manufacturing is <a href="https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/figure-announces-commercial-agreement-with-bmw-manufacturing-to-bring-general-purpose-robots-into-automotive-production-302036263.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">teaming</a> up with robotics startup Figure to deploy <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">humanoid robots in its U.S. facility. </a>
Under the agreement, BMW Manufacturing and Figure will pursue a milestone-based approach.
In the first phase, Figure will identify initial use cases to apply the Figure robots in automotive production. Once the first phase has been completed, the Figure robots will begin staged deployment at BMW&#8217;s manufacturing facility in Spartanburg, South Carolina.
Beyond the deployment of humanoid robots in an automotive manufacturing environment, BMW Manufacturing and Figure jointly will explore advanced technology topics such as artificial intelligence, robot control, manufacturing virtualization, and robot integration.
As companies increasingly adopt human-like robots, BMW aims to leverage these advanced machines for specific physical tasks, Reuters reported.
Recently, Tesla, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) introduced Optimus Gen 2, its latest humanoid robot, as Elon Musk envisions a billion such robots <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/23/12/36209983/watch-teslas-next-gen-optimus-has-new-hands-capable-enough-to-handle-delicate-objects-like-eggs" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">worldwide by the 2040s.</a>
However, BMW&#8217;s partnership begins with a modest quantity, expanding based on performance achievements, says Figure CEO Brett Adcock, Reuters added.
On Tuesday, Tesla CEO&nbsp;Elon Musk&nbsp;expressed optimism that robots will build other robots one day. Terming it &#8216;inevitable,&#8217; the CEO said that robots will build robots one day&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/01/36653643/tesla-ceo-elon-musk-says-robots-may-build-other-robots-one-day-but-optimus-cant-find-a-missing-sock" rel="noreferrer noopener">whether Tesla does it or not.</a>
The generation 2 version of the Optimus was unveiled in a video on X in December with better control of its hands enabling it to handle delicate objects like eggs.
Meanwhile, Automakers like&nbsp;Honda Motor Company, Ltd.&nbsp;(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HMC#NYSE">HMC</a>) and&nbsp;Hyundai Motor Co., Ltd.&nbsp;(OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HYMLF#OTC">HYMLF</a>) are also exploring humanoid robots for repetitive and hazardous tasks in assembly lines, enhancing efficiency and safety, Reuters added.
Investor interest surges in general-purpose humanoid robots with AI-driven capabilities for versatile movements and task learning, aiming to mimic human abilities, the report read.&nbsp;
Existing robots are task-specific, raising questions about the viability of adaptable robots in real-world scenarios, it added.

&quot;This new alliance will provide Hyundai EV owners confidence in their ability to conveniently charge their vehicles and complements our joint venture company to create a new, high-powered charging network with at least 30,000 stations across North America.&quot;
Compatibility and Accessibility
Hyundai&#39;s advanced Electric-Global Modular Platform (E-GMP) vehicles, including IONIQ 5 and IONIQ 6, along with the forthcoming IONIQ 7, are set to benefit immensely from Tesla&#39;s commitment to expanding its Supercharger network.
Owners of existing and future Hyundai EVs with the current CCS will have access to the Tesla Supercharging Network starting in Q1 2025.
Rebecca Tinucci, senior director of Charging at Tesla, highlighted that opening their Supercharging network to other electric vehicles aligns with Tesla&#39;s mission of accelerating the global transition to sustainable energy.
&quot;We&#39;re proud to welcome Hyundai as the latest adopter of the North American Charging Standard,&quot; Tinucci added.
In a move to bolster its electric vehicle battery raw material supply, Hyundai recently invested $400 million for a 5% stake in Korea Zinc. This strategic investment is aimed at securing a stable supply of essential materials required for EV battery production, underscoring&nbsp;<a class="editor-rtfLink" href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/23/08/34112151/electrifying-move-hyundai-jv-invests-400m-for-5-stake-in-korea-zinc-bolstering-ev-battery-raw-ma" style="background-image:initial; background-position:initial; background-size:initial; background-repeat:initial; background-attachment:initial; background-origin:initial; background-clip:initial; margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt; color:#4a6ee0" target="_blank">Hyundai&#39;s commitment to the EV market.</a>&nbsp;

Hyundai Joins The Club - The Latest Company To Gain Access Tesla Superchargers In North America

The <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/nhtsa">National Highway Traffic Safety Administration</a> on Tuesday said it has made an initial decision that some air bag inflators manufactured by ARC Automotive and Delphi Automotive from 2000 through January 2018 must be recalled. 
When commanded to deploy, these inflators may rupture and eject metal debris into the passenger compartment, the NHTSA said. Within the United States, these rupturing airbag inflators have injured at least seven and killed one person. NHTSA is also aware of at least two cases of rupture outside the U.S., it added.
Inflators affected by the initial decision include 41 million inflators manufactured by ARC and the nearly 11 million manufactured by Delphi under an agreement with ARC, taking the total number to a whopping 52 million. 
These inflators have been incorporated into air bag modules of 12 vehicle manufacturers including BMW AG (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BMWYY#OTC">BMWYY</a>), Ford Motor Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/F#NYSE">F</a>), General Motors Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GM#NYSE">GM</a>), Hyundai Motor Co (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HYMLF#OTC">HYMLF</a>), Kia Corp (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KIMTF#OTC">KIMTF</a>), Stellantis NV (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/STLA#NYSE">STLA</a>), Mercedes-Benz Group AG (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MBGYY#OTC">MBGYY</a>), Tesla Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>), Toyota Motor Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TM#NYSE">TM</a>), and Volkswagen AG (OTCPK: VWAGY), NHTSA said. 
Initial Recall Request: Though the NHTSA requested ARC to initiate a recall for the inflators in April earlier this year, the company declined alleging that the agency lacks sufficient evidence of a safety defect. 
The company further minimized the seven confirmed ruptures as merely "occasional or isolated failures that are an inevitable part of any volume manufacturing process,&#8221; the NHTSA said. 
Delphi Automotive, meanwhile, no longer exists. It was acquired by Autoliv (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ALV#NYSE">ALV</a>) who may not have the legal liability for the inflators manufactured by Delphi. 
The NHTSA will now hold a public meeting at the Department of Transportation headquarters in Washington, D.C., on Oct.5 regarding the initial decision to force a recall.

Hyundai To Replace 82,000 EV Battery Systems In Expensive Recall: Reuters

Astronauts on board the SpaceX Dragon capsule approach the International Space Station on May 31st (photo via&nbsp;<a href="https://twitter.com/SpaceX/status/1267086597507301378?s=20" rel="nofollow">SpaceX</a>).
At the end of May, Elon Musk&#39;s SpaceX sent two astronauts into space - the first manned launch from U.S. soil in nine years. Also at the end of May, Tesla Inc (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/tsla#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) made our list of top ten names. Since then, the stock is up 256%.&nbsp;
<a href="https://static.seekingalpha.com/uploads/2020/11/26/131469-16063676474650471_origin.png" rel="lightbox"><img alt="" src="https://static.seekingalpha.com/uploads/2020/11/26/131469-16063676474650471.png" /></a>
Our system is still bullish on Tesla. Our analysis of total returns and options market sentiment put Tesla in the top ten again on Wednesday. It was the only name from the May 28th top names cohort to appear in the November 25th cohort. Others, however, have suggested Tesla&#39;s valuation may have gotten ahead of itself.&nbsp;
Rajesh Sawhney noted that Tesla&#39;s market cap is greater than that of Mercedes (Pink: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ddaif#Pink">DDAIF</a>), Subaru, Ford Motor Company (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/f#NYSE">F</a>), Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/fcau#NYSE">FCAU</a>), BMW (PInk: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/bmwyy#PInk">BMWYY</a>), Nissan (Pink: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/nsany#Pink">NSANY</a>), Mazda (Pink: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/mzdaf#Pink">MZDAF</a>), Hyundai (Pink: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/hymlf#Pink">HYMLF</a>), and Aston Martin (Pink: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/amgdf#Pink">AMGDF</a>) combined.&nbsp;
<iframe height="866" src="https://seekingalpha.com/embed/12157" width="550"></iframe>
Bloomberg&#39;s Joe Wiesenthal noted that Elon Musk is now richer than Bill Gates.&nbsp;
<iframe height="470" src="https://seekingalpha.com/embed/12156" width="550"></iframe>
Wiesenthal also suggested that Tesla&#39;s spike was a bubble driven by desperate speculators.&nbsp;

Maybe It&#39;s Worth Hedging Here
Even if you&#39;re bullish on Tesla, it might make sense to hedge here, in the event the stock corrects in the near term (as it did earlier this year). Here&#39;s one way to do that.&nbsp;
Crash Protection For Tesla
I tried hedging 100 shares of Tesla against a greater-than-20% decline over the next several months two ways: ones with optimal puts (uncapped upside) and once with an optimal collar (capped upside).
Uncapped Upside - Unavailable
On Wednesday, if you scanned for an optimal put to hedge Tesla against a &gt;20% drop over the next 6 months, you would have gotten this error message.
<img alt="" src="https://static.seekingalpha.com/uploads/2020/11/26/131469-16063745029941754.jpg" style="height:588px; width:340px" />
Screen capture via the&nbsp;<a href="https://portfolioarmor.com/" rel="nofollow">Portfolio Armor</a>&nbsp;iPhone app.
What &quot;net cost exceeds threshold&quot; means is that the cost of hedging against a &gt;20% decline was more than 20% of your position value. So, by buying that hedge, you would have incurred more than the loss you were looking to prevent.
Capped Upside, Negative Cost
If you were willing to cap your possible upside in Tesla at 38% over the next six months, this was the optimal collar to protect against a &gt;20% decline over the same time frame.
<img alt="" src="https://static.seekingalpha.com/uploads/2020/11/26/131469-16063744053747678.jpg" style="height:459px; width:340px" /><img alt="" src="https://static.seekingalpha.com/uploads/2020/11/26/131469-1606374419788117.jpg" style="height:399px; width:340px" />
Here the net cost was negative, meaning you would have collected a net credit of $425, or 0.74% of position value, when opening this hedge, assuming, conservatively, that you bought the puts and sold the calls at the worst ends of their respective spreads. That worked out to an annualized cost as a percentage of position value of -1.32%.
When Tesla Pulls Back
If Tesla pulls back within the next few months, you&#39;ll be able to buy-to-close the call leg on the collar above for a lot less than you got for selling it, and you&#39;ll be able to sell the puts for a lot more. If you&#39;re still bullish on Tesla then, you sell those appreciated puts to buy more shares.
