This initiative, titled Development of an Autonomous Robotic Disassembly Process for Applications in Battery Pack Circularity, is focused on addressing the key bottlenecks in the battery supply chain, such as automating battery pack disassembly, improving battery classification, and mitigating cell degradation.
The project aims to create a 3R (Reduce, Reuse, Recycle) framework for end-of-life batteries. It will develop automated tools and protocols for disassembling battery packs, diagnosing battery cells, and repurposing these cells into new energy systems. The innovations will help streamline the reuse and refurbishment of valuable battery components, reducing waste and extending battery life.
This collaboration represents a significant step forward in Toyota&#8217;s commitment to sustainability, helping to create a more circular battery supply chain.
The project aligns with the company&#8217;s broader efforts to reduce battery waste, enhance battery lifecycle management, and support the energy transition.
As the demand for EVs grows, this initiative will help ensure that batteries are reused efficiently, minimizing their environmental impact and maximizing their lifespan.

Wall Street inched marginally higher during Wednesday morning trading in New York, with traders remaining on edge ahead of the eagerly anticipated Federal Reserve meeting scheduled for 2 p.m. ET, followed by Fed Chair Jerome Powell&#8216;s press conference <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/24/12/42554114/all-eyes-on-december-fed-meeting-as-traders-await-interest-rate-projections">at 2:30 p.m. ET.</a>
The Fed is widely expected to reduce interest rates by 25 basis points to a target range of 4.25%-4.50%. Yet, the market&#8217;s reaction is likely to hinge on the updated economic projections and Powell&#8217;s commentary on future policy direction.
The semiconductor sector rebounded strongly, with the iShares Semiconductor ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SOXX#NASDAQ">SOXX</a>) climbing 0.9% after a 1.6% dip on Tuesday. Nvidia Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) surged 3.6%, on track to mark its best single-day gain in a month and to snap a four-day losing streak. The jump followed Nvidia&#8217;s announcement of a new $249 Jetson computer for AI applications, significantly cheaper than its predecessor priced at $499.
In currency markets, the U.S. dollar edged 0.2% higher, with the DXY index breaking above 107, its highest level in three weeks. Treasury yields were steady, with the 10-year yield holding at 4.40% as traders awaited the Fed&#8217;s decision.
Commodities presented a mixed picture: gold slipped 0.4%, while WTI crude gained 1.2%, supported by a larger-than-expected drawdown in U.S. crude inventories.
The cryptocurrency market took a breather after recent strong gains, with Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) down 1.8%, trading below the $105,000 mark.

Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

Peering Into Autodesk's Recent Short Interest

Elon Musk, the man behind Tesla, SpaceX and all things futuristic, doesn't just rely on tech to shape his ideas. He's got a reading list that might surprise you. From artificial intelligence to long-term ethics, Musk's brain doesn't just run on tech. Turns out, books play a big role too. And not just any books. We're talking deep stuff. Like What We Owe the Future by William MacAskill. Never heard of it? You're not alone.
Musk called it a <a href="https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1554335028313718784">"close match" </a>for his philosophy. What's the vibe? Longtermism. Yeah, it's a real word. MacAskill says it's about <a href="https://twitter.com/willmacaskill/status/1520107719725707264">focusing on the far future</a>, like making choices today that set up humanity for the long haul. Musk's whole Mars thing? Checks out.
Don't Miss:
<ul>
<li>The global games market is projected to generate $272B by the end of the year —<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/gameflip"> for $0.55/share, this VC-backed startup with a 7M+ userbase gives investors easy access to this asset market.</a></li>
<li>Inspired by Uber and Airbnb &#8211; Deloitte's fastest-growing software company is transforming 7 billion smartphones into income-generating assets &#8211; <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/mode-mobile-2">The deadline to invest and receive your shares this year is 12/20. Join 30,000+ shareholders and invest at $0.26/share today.</a></li>
</ul>
But wait – he's not done. Musk is big on artificial intelligence too. Not just building it. Understanding it. Controlling it. Avoiding <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41618261/elon-musk-predicts-ai-will-match-human-capabilities-in-few-years-the-cup-is-80-full-maybe-90">total AI apocalypse. </a>That's where Superintelligence: Paths, Dangers, Strategies by Nick Bostrom comes in. Musk loves it. Machines smarter than humans? The book says it's coming. Musk says, be ready.
Then there's Our Final Invention: Artificial Intelligence and the End of the Human Era by James Barrat. Dramatic title, right? Musk thinks it's <a href="https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/496010572333580289">"worth reading."</a> It's all about AI risks, like what happens when robots think faster than we do. Spoiler: it's not great for humans.
And don't skip Life 3.0: Being Human in the Age of Artificial Intelligence by Max Tegmark. Musk's read it. So should you. It's about keeping AI helpful, not harmful. Good luck with that.
These books show how Musk thinks. He's not just about electric cars and rockets. He's about survival. Big survival. Human survival. The kind that spans centuries, not decades. He's playing the long game.
See Also: It&#8217;s no wonder Jeff Bezos holds over $70 million in art — <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/masterworks">this alternative asset has outpaced the S&amp;P 500 since 1995, delivering an average annual return of 11.4%. Here&#8217;s how everyday investors are getting started.</a>
But here's the twist. Musk isn't all doom and gloom. He believes in tech. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/24/11/42029736/elon-musk-says-ai-will-surpass-doctors-lawyers-after-chatgpt-tops-medical-diagnoses-humans-becoming-biological-backups">Believes in progress. </a>Thinks we can steer the ship. These books? They're like his map. Maybe a little dark, but hey, the guy's aiming for Mars.
Feeling curious? Pick one up. You'll learn. Maybe freak out a little. Maybe feel hopeful. Either way, Musk's bookshelf isn't just for show. It's a glimpse into his brain, a road map for the future. Or, you know, a warning.
What's the takeaway? Musk isn't just about rockets and electric cars. He's a big-picture thinker, constantly trying to understand how today's choices shape tomorrow. Whether it's long-term ethics or the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/40764724/elon-musks-xai-eyes-share-of-future-tesla-revenue-in-potential-deal">future of AI,</a> his book recommendations give us a peek into his decisions.
Thinking about diving into these reads? They might not make you the next Musk, but they'll get you thinking like him. After all, the future isn't just about technology – it's about using it wisely. Your move.
