Toyota and Aurora form global, long-term partnership to develop self-driving cars

Aurora, the self-driving startup that in December acquired Uber's autonomous-vehicle business, announced a new partnership on Tuesday. The firm will work with Toyota and auto parts supplier Denso to further develop and democratize this nascent technology.
Aurora is working on a self-driving platform, the core hardware and software that enables Level 4 or Level 5 autonomy, vehicles that can basically drive themselves in nearly every situation. The plan is to perfect this technology and then sell it off to auto companies so they don't have to spend the money or do the research to develop it on their own.
By the end of this year, the company aims to deploy an initial fleet of vehicles fitted with its Aurora Driver autonomous system. The spacious and efficient Toyota Sienna minivan is the firm's platform of choice.
Aurora's new partnership with Toyota and Denso is the latest in a long line of tie-ups for this unusually polyamorous company. Around a year and a half ago, Hyundai and Kia invested in Aurora, Hyundai having previously worked with the company. Volkswagen was in on the action too. Aurora also recently partnered with heavy-truck manufacture Paccar to develop self-driving big-rigs.

 
I got in on NWBO at $.93 awhile back waiting on their phase 3 clinical trial results for cancer treatment of glioblastoma. It's been moving at snail's pace but starting to show some signs of life. The company has been at this for yearrrrsssss, but looking at the possibility that there's potential benefits from the treatment/s and their purchase of Flashworks (another company) for production, and a bigger facility are some positive signs. This was a long term hold for me 2 years minimum.

Been learning about the technical analysis - long way to go, but that MACD line is just about parallel to the signal line as it's trying to increase in price - a sign of bullish. Maybe. Thoughts?
 
WILL AUVI RUN AFTER HOURS? I’m trying to time my pull out game...
cant determine just yet.......but i said this morning that AUVI was the best play going rn....
even if you invested $100 at opening bell....you'd have $300 right now.

Thought AREC was the play I had to pivot and chase the wave
 
I wouldn’t tax a genuine brotha or sista anything...but agents get maximum penalty allowed. Agents all in this thread but it is doing great without my input.

On a serious note: we as so-called black people need to learn “quid pro quo” because the majority of the content in this thread shouldn’t be needed in the first place. And the most important information this thread should contain now (what to do after the bubble, tax planning, the next bull markets) hasn’t even been touched on.

Those are the facts and we are too smart to be behind but it is great to see more brothas learn investing is not just an exclusive club for the 1%.


Whatever you say Captain.

I agree about the tax implications and learning more about how the market moves historically in order to prepare for all scenarios. But you got to admit: a lot of the chatter and noise as far as day to day paper chase in here doesn't lend itself to teaching the new investors/traders how to protect their investments. Or get their money up a little and build a foundation before going in on some of these Yolo plays.

That's one reason why I thought it was hella foul the other week when you mentioned knowing about the government fleet contract winner, but was talkin about charging folk for the info. That's the type of solid play some of these brothers could use to build a REAL (maybe their first?) portfolio position long term. I understand, get that money homie, but then same time you talking about agents and togetherness and why brothers don't or can't come up. You gotta admit that's kinda funny style..

It does take a change in mindset to move forward. And you def have to help yourself to do so. Hopefully we can all stay in our lanes, bounce info off each other and reach our respective goals ..
 
VDRM (up 55%) is showing signs of waking up again.
They recently got a FDA approval and contracts from major hospital for a skin treatment ointment.

I'm up pretty nicely.
Holding tightly until they release their numbers for their sales.
 
You're high

i like what kinray TILRAY is doing. got in yesterday. scooped up some january $15 calls. up about 60 percent. shoulda thrown more racks at it. anyways, not telling you what to do. just telling you what i did. do your due diligence.

You’re still holding? You still think it will swing, not doubting you, just reconsidering jumping back in.

The Chinese electric-vehicle maker NIO is one of the hottest EV stocks traded on U.S. exchanges, but it doesn’t sell any products in the U.S. That could change sooner than investors might expect.


An entry to the market by a Chinese producer would be a game changer for the entire U.S. car business. Fortunately for the U.S. companies now in the business, the prospect looks to be a long way down the road.


Deutsche Bank analyst Edison Yu tracked down an interesting NIO (ticker: NIO) tidbit. He found a job posting on LinkedIn related to business planning for the U.S. market. The posting is now closed, but Yu says it was looking for someone to “formulate an action plan to enter the US market.”

NIO didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment.


It is a sign that NIO is thinking about the U.S. market. Still, it is early, and Yu’s financial model doesn’t include any U.S. sales for NIO even in 2025. He said entering the U.S. would be difficult given relations between Beijing and Washington, D.C., but that the Biden administration may be less antagonistic to China than policy makers were under President Donald Trump.





Sales in Europe will come before entry into the U.S. NIO plans to sell cars on the Continent there later this year. “There are already numerous job postings on LinkedIn for open positions based in Oslo,” said the analyst. NIO’s peer XPeng (XPEV) began selling cars in Norway in December.

Another factor that could keep NIO out of the U.S. a little longer is that the company is new and the Chinese EV market is doing just fine. NIO’s manufacturing capacity is roughly 100,000 vehicles a year, and while the company plans to triple that figure coming years, it is selling all the cars it can make in China, at least for now.

Eventually, more car makers in the U.S. would mean more difficulty maintaining market share for existing players. More EVs in the U.S. will put pressure on traditional auto makers to transition to electric offerings faster.


The existing players appear to realize all this. General Motors (GM) plans to launch 30 EVs around the globe by 2025, investing about $27 billion to make that happen. Ford Motor (F), for its part, recently announced plans to spend about $20 billion between now and 2025 on EV and autonomous-vehicle development.


History tells us that foreign-made cars can have a tremendous impact on the industry. Back in the early 1970s, GM, Ford and Chrysler had roughly 70% to 80% of the U.S. car market. while Japanese players were an afterthought. Today, the original Detroit three have roughly 40% of the market. Toyota Motor (TM), Honda Motor (HMC) and Nissan Motor (7201.Japan) account for roughly 33% of all light-vehicle sales in the U.S.

It will take a while for any foreign auto maker to build a U.S. business from scratch, but NIO stock appears to be reacting to Yu’s find. Shares were up 3.3% to $61 in midday trading Tuesday. The shares are up about 25% year to date, after rising more than 1,100% in 2020.

Analysts see more gains for the stock. About 65% of analyst rate shares Buy. The average Buy-rating ratio for stocks in the Dow Jones Industrial Average and S&P 500 is about 55%. Yu, for his part, rates NIO stock at Buy and has a target of $70 for the price.
 
dude is a piece of shit in every way


Tesla Inc., Palo Alto, Calif., did not make any matching contributions to its 401(k) plan in 2020, according to its 10-K filing with the SEC on Monday.


It is the third straight year the automaker has not made any contributions to its 401(k) plan, according to the filing.

They probably get hella stock options. But that's still bad business.

My feeling is it might be easier if NIO were able to team up with some other auto manufacturer to overcome any market resistance , someone known to the American regulators and general public. NIO has advanced software and this approch would save lots of time.
 
WHile that maybe true an american company already here is moving $CCIV

It's jumped almost 5 points since my recent post.
bro you love lucid..first of all its a rumor not confirmed yet...and even if its true the are way behind nio as far as battery technology and vehicles. The same reason why NIO isnt competing with Tsla will be why lucid is behind nio. Lucid will do well tho as their is room for more than two EV players.
