◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway
You can target the expanding U.S. robo-taxi market via Hyundai’s mass-production of Waymo-integrated Ioniq 5s, opening supply channels that bypass the toughest autonomous tech builds. South Korea’s market lags, but your chance is to back Hyundai’s internal tech rollout and Seoul’s operational platform for early foothold.
