TSLA

Ark Investment Management, led by Cathie Wood, predicts that 95-100% of all vehicles on the roads will be electric vehicles (EVs) by 2030, particularly if robotaxis become widespread. Ark sees Tesla Inc (TSLA) as the leader in the potential robotaxi market, with a significant data advantage over competitors like Baidu and Waymo. Tesla is rolling out its full self-driving software, aiming for volume production of robotaxis by 2024. Legacy automakers may face a 'death spiral' if they cannot compete with the EV and robotaxi transition.
