One of the best things about Grok is its ability to recall information and trace insights and opinions directly to tweets. With a little imaginative prompting, users can get output that would otherwise be impossible from an alternative chatbot.
Using it, I uncovered seven opportunities you may want to add to your watchlist today.
Joby Aviation (JOBY)
One of the top flying car stock picks by Grok AI is Joby Aviation (NYSE:JOBY).
Here’s what Grok had to say about the company:
“Joby Aviation is a California-based company founded in 2009 by JoeBen Bevirt. The company is developing an electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft with a focus on sustainability and urban air mobility. The Joby aircraft is designed to be a four-passenger commercial aircraft with a pilot, capable of traveling up to 150 miles on a single charge at a top speed of 200 mph.“

The company has also been working with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to achieve type certification for their aircraft. They have also been working with the U.S. Air Force and the U.S. Army to explore the potential use of their eVTOL aircraft for military applications.“
JOBY stock is also one of Wall Street’s favorites, too, with an implied upside of 44.30% for its share price.

XPeng (NYSE:XPEV) is a flying car manufacturer headquartered in China. According to Grok:
“XPeng, a Chinese electric vehicle manufacturer, is making significant strides in the flying car industry. Their innovative concept for a flying car, set to launch in 2024, has garnered considerable attention.“

Airbus (EADSY)
Airbus (OTCMKTS:EADSY) produces some of the most popular commercial airliners in the world. In fact, models such as the A320, A330, A350, and A380 are well-known and widely used.
