Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The firm suggests robotrucks could generate 10 times the annual profit of Cybercab robo taxis, potentially yielding $650,000 per truck annually. This potential is driven by the trucking market being purely commercial and stable, valued at $2 trillion globally.

Morgan Stanley analysts have linked Tesla's valuation to the sales of its Optimus robots, and the firm predicts the humanoid market could reach $5 trillion by 2050.
