Toyota just revealed its biggest strategy since the Prius?

Everyone's talking about Toyota taking a 51% stake in Joby Aviation to build electric air taxis. But I think the real story is something almost nobody is discussing.

Toyota isn't trying to become an aircraft company. It's doing what it did with the Prius: taking a promising technology and figuring out how to build it reliably, efficiently, and at scale. That's why it wanted majority control of manufacturing, not just another investment.

So is Toyota really betting on flying cars, or is it betting on its manufacturing genius?

I dive deep into the hidden story behind Toyota's Joby partnership in my full article at TorqueNews.com. Check it out, and let me know if you think this could become Toyota's next Prius moment. torquenews.com/1/why-toyota-s-51-stake-joby-looks-exactly-its-old-prius-playbook
