Hyundai CEO says your local car dealership could sell you a humanoid robot
Hyundai's robotics company, Boston Dynamics, could sell humanoid and dog-like bots at car dealerships, the CEO said.
Hyundai's CEO, José Muñoz, discussed the company's plans to mass-produce humanoid robots from Boston Dynamics. During an investor day event, Muñoz hinted that your local Hyundai dealership could soon start selling these next-generation machines. With an 80% stake in the robotics company, Hyundai is leveraging its dealership network and financing expertise to bring humanoid robots to the masses.
The CEO noted that Hyundai Capital, which already finances vehicles, is exploring the possibility of extending its lending model to cover robot purchases. Hyundai has already integrated Boston Dynamics' Spot robot into its facilities for industrial inspections and predictive maintenance. As mass production of the humanoid Atlas model ramps up, Hyundai aims to usher in a new era of robotics in consumer applications.
