Hyundai Motor CEO José Muñoz is steering the company to compete with Tesla by leveraging its legacy automotive business to fund a future in physical AI and robotics.
Hyundai plans to begin production of robotaxis for Alphabet’s Waymo and aims to build 30,000 Boston Dynamics robots annually by 2028.
While Tesla pivots heavily towards autonomous vehicles and humanoid robot assembly lines, Hyundai focuses on product efficiency and localization to sustain its investments.
