Quick Glance: Amazon's Zoox Robotaxis to Drive Faster, Farther, at Night in Las Vegas
- Amazon's Zoox, a self-driving vehicle brand owned by Amazon, is planning to expand test drives in California and Nevada by including a larger area, higher speeds, and nighttime driving.
- Zoox will increase the speed of its specially designed vehicles to up to 72 km/h and expand the area in Las Vegas where the vehicles can travel to five miles.
- The company plans to allow the robotaxis to drive in light rain and at night to gather additional data and aims long-term to replace human drivers with fully autonomous vehicles.
- Amazon acquired Zoox in 2020 for over $1 billion, leading to speculation that the vehicles could potentially be used as delivery vehicles to save costs on drivers.

Quick Glance: Analyst warns Tesla’s stock is overvalued, could drop another 80%
- Tesla has lowered the prices of some of its most popular models six times this year to boost demand amid increasing competition in the EV market. However, analysts suggest that this tactic could impact margins.
- The booming EV market has enabled Tesla to rapidly increase its vehicle deliveries in recent years, and many analysts believe that this trend will continue.
- According to Trainer, the main issue for investors could be the overvaluation of Tesla's stock.
- Trainer proposed a reverse discounted cash flow (DCF) model to determine Tesla's value. He found that for Tesla to be valued at $200 per share, it would have to sell as many as 30 million EVs by 2031. Trainer and his research team found that the stock is still 'significantly overvalued' even in the most optimistic scenarios.

- Zoox, Amazon.com Inc's self-driving vehicle unit, announced that it successfully transported passengers on public roads in its fully autonomous vehicle for the first time.
