Looking ahead: Imagine being able to swing by your local Hyundai dealership to buy a humanoid or dog-like robot. That scenario is the vision of the automaker's CEO, José Muñoz, and the company could even provide the financing for these expensive machines.

"We have existing potential distribution for selling robots through our dealer partners," said Muñoz during the company's investor day.

Back in 2021, Hyundai Motor Group took the surprising step of acquiring an 80% controlling stake in robotics giant Boston Dynamics, valuing the company at $1.1 billion.
