Hyundai says it will build 30,000 robots globally by 2028, with a big robotics plant coming to America around then.
- the Korean automaker announced plans to build 30,000 robots annually starting in 2028.*
That puts it in a direct race with Tesla, which has been developing its “Optimus” humanoid for years, and other automotive players like Xpeng. Just like Tesla, the company also says its humanoid robots’ first job will be at its own car factories, where engineers can keep the clankers under a watchful eye.
So likely less jobs for humans. Will the cost savings be pass along to the consumer?
