The world of autonomous driving is rapidly approaching a key moment: Tesla Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) is set to hold its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/robotaxi">Robotaxi event on Oct. 10</a>.
What Happened: The Austin, Texas-based car manufacturer is gearing up to make yet another bold move, despite divided public opinion on driverless technology. Nearly 63% of American adults would not ride in a driverless vehicle, according to a Pew Research <a href="https://www.pewresearch.org/internet/2022/03/17/americans-cautious-about-the-deployment-of-driverless-cars/">survey</a>.
And who can blame them?
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/06/39428443/gms-cruise-fined-112-500-by-california-over-self-driving-car-crash-report">High-profile crashes</a> involving General Motors Co's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GM#NYSE">GM</a>) Cruise, along with lingering doubts about safety, leave many hesitant.
Tesla's record with autonomous driving features has also <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/41104861/elon-musk-tesla-win-dismissal-of-full-self-driving-claims-judge-tosses-lawsuit">faced regulatory scrutiny</a> and multiple lawsuits after hundreds of accidents. After years of delays, Tesla CEO Elon Musk is finally set to unveil Tesla&#8217;s robotaxi network, but skepticism surrounds whether it will live up to the hype.
Waymo, owned by Alphabet Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>), has already established a substantial lead in the market. It currently boasts over 22 million driverless miles and soaring demand in cities like San Francisco and Phoenix.
Tesla does not yet have any fully-driverless vehicles on the road.

Why It Matters: Waymo has worked hard to reassure users with a safety-first approach, including a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/07/39924838/alphabet-commits-to-another-5b-investment-in-waymo-tesla-ceo-elon-musk-takes-jibe-at-cash-burn-in-un">dedicated online hub</a> touting the reliability of its cars.
Tesla, however, has a history of overpromising. 
When the company first introduced Full Self-Driving (FSD) in 2016, it claimed that the car would eventually be able to drive itself completely, with no supervision required.
Musk touted that it would be roughly two years before driverless cars could be summoned. See below. 
<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"> 
<div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">In ~2 years, summon should work anywhere connected by land &amp; not blocked by borders, eg you&#39;re in LA and the car is in NY
&mdash; Elon Musk (@elonmusk) <a href="https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/686279251293777920?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">January 10, 2016</a></blockquote>
<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></div>
</figure>
But by 2024, Tesla hadn&#8217;t revealed any driverless tech. It even changed the acronym on its app from FSD to "Supervised," meaning drivers still have to keep their hands on the wheel and pay attention to the road.
Whether the Robotaxi event reveals any progress in this segment remains to be seen. 
Regardless of how far along autonomous technology is, the stakes remain high for ride-sharing services like Uber Technologies Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UBER#NYSE">UBER</a>) and Lyft Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LYFT#NYSE">LYFT</a>).
Why rely on a human driver, tip included, when a robotaxi might be available at a tap?

Trader CryptoCon analyzed Bitcoin&#8217;s current price patterns based on historical trends. He states that Bitcoin&#8217;s current price action is consistent with past cycles, which also took time to reach new all-time highs.
In previous cycles (2012, 2016, 2020), Bitcoin was far from all-time highs by Oct. 8, whereas in 2024, it is much closer. Historically, peaks took 5-6 months to arrive after this point. His tweet <a href="https://x.com/CryptoCon_/status/1843685951102693386">emphasizes</a> that "Bitcoin is doing great, and perspective is key."

Celsius Holdings Unusual Options Activity

Think <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/05/39069576/are-you-rich-heres-the-net-worth-you-need-to-be-poor-middle-class-and-wealthy">joining the top 4% of households</a> means you need a vault full of gold or some secret hedge fund? Think again.
According to data from LIMRA reported by Rethinking65, only 4% of all U.S. households have $2 million or more in investable assets. That may not seem huge, but it represents a significant financial milestone that only a small fraction of households ever reach.
Don't Miss:

<li>A billion-dollar investment strategy with minimums as low as $10 —<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/fundrise-flagship-fund"> you can become part of the next big real estate boom today.</a></li>
</ul>
Breaking it down further, the numbers shift depending on age. Among <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/08/40535391/can-you-guess-what-percent-of-people-actually-retire-with-a-2-million-nest-egg-heres-a-hint-aim-">households headed by someone aged 60 or older</a>, the percentage increases to 7%. For those aged 40 to 85, just 6% of households reach that $2 million mark in investable assets. These assets include IRAs, defined contribution plans, and investment accounts, but not home equity or personal property.
Crossing the $2 million threshold puts a household in a rare financial bracket. But what does that mean for their future?&nbsp;
LIMRA's research shows that having $2 million comes with a strong sense of financial security, especially in retirement. Households with $2 million or more overwhelmingly feel confident they won't run out of savings by the time they hit 90. Eighty to ninety percent agreed their savings would last, with over half strongly agreeing.
Trending: Founder of Personal Capital and ex-CEO of PayPal<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/evergreen-money"> re-engineers traditional banking with this new high-yield account — start saving better today.</a>
That confidence starts to slip for households with between $1 million and $2 million. Only 28% of these households strongly agreed their savings would last their lifetime, and the percentage drops further for those with less savings.
Interestingly, many retirees in this group report their household income is sufficient to cover their basic living expenses. But for those planning their retirement, the future feels less certain. Only 44% of future retirees expect their income from sources like Social Security or pensions to fully cover their expenses.

So, where do you stand? Being in the top 4% means more than just crossing a financial milestone. It's about having the peace of mind that comes with knowing your savings will carry you through retirement. For those still working towards it, the journey to that number is just as important as reaching the goal.
If you aim to join the top 4% of households, traditional tips like cutting expenses and maxing out retirement accounts might not be enough. For a fresh approach to building net worth, here are some strategies you may not have considered:
<ul>
<li>Invest in alternative assets: Consider diversifying with <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/bezos-landlord-100-dollars">assets like real estate</a> crowdfunding, peer-to-peer lending, or private equity investments.</li>
</ul>

</ul>
<ul>
<li>Utilize Employee Stock Options: Take advantage of this benefit if your company offers stock options, especially at a discount. It's an often-overlooked way to build wealth while leveraging your position at work. Ensure you contribute at least as much as your employer will match in your 401(k) plan or similar retirement accounts.</li>

Keep in mind this analysis of the top 4% comes from just one survey, and it's worth noting other reports may show different numbers. Each study has its own methodology, so the exact percentages can vary.&nbsp;
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/can-you-guess-how-many-americans-successfully-retire-with-1-million-saved">Consulting a financial advisor</a> is a smart move if you're looking to boost your wealth and potentially reach the top households. While there's no guaranteed formula, a professional can help tailor a plan that aligns with your financial goals. It's worth considering if you're serious about building long-term wealth.

An exciting theme is emerging within the industrial sector as several small-cap stocks battle for dominance in the aerospace and defense industry, particularly in the space race. Space investors today have many choices, ranging from established defense titans to narrowly focused start-ups.&nbsp;
Morgan Stanley forecasts the space industry could reach $1 trillion by 2040, presenting immense growth potential. However, the path to success is filled with risks, as even the most advanced players face setbacks while bringing new, innovative products online.
While the number of customers in this space remains limited and government influence is still a significant factor, three small-cap aerospace and defense stocks stand out as they expand their operations in space. These stocks could be a good choice for investors seeking high growth and willing to embrace elevated risk.
<h2>Rocket Lab USA Inc. (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/rklb#NASDAQ">RKLB</a>)</h2>
Rocket Lab has become one of the top-performing space stocks of 2024, recently reaching a 52-week high of $8.98 per share before pulling back slightly to $10.69. Over the previous year, the stock has rocketed over 121% and is up over 75% YTD. Rocket Lab&#39;s strength lies in its diversified revenue streams, with around 70% of its income coming from its launch and space services businesses.&nbsp;
The company continues to progress with its Electron rocket, which is designed to launch small satellites. Having successfully launched its 53rd Electron rocket in September, Rocket Lab estimates that demand for small satellite launches will soar, expecting over 10,000 satellites to require launching by 2030.
However, profitability still needs to be discovered, which complicates valuation. The bullish case hinges on Rocket Lab&#39;s resilience and the upcoming Neutron rocket, designed to handle larger payloads and open new revenue streams. Despite the challenges, Rocket Lab&#39;s solid track record suggests it can navigate the industry&#39;s obstacles while pursuing long-term growth.
<h2>Intuitive Machines, Inc. (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/lunr#NASDAQ">LUNR</a>)</h2>
Intuitive Machines has had an outstanding year, with its stock surging 187% YTD. The company focuses on space systems and infrastructure, specializing in enabling scientific exploration and the sustainable utilization of lunar resources to support human presence on the moon.
September was a standout month for LUNR, as its share price jumped from $6 to nearly $10 after securing a significant contract with NASA. On September 17, NASA awarded Intuitive Machines a Near Space Network contract, potentially worth up to $4.82 billion over the next decade. This deal includes deploying lunar relay satellites and providing vital communication and navigation services for NASA&#39;s Artemis campaign.
Looking ahead, the company&#39;s IM-2 mission, set for January 2025, will deliver an ice drill and mass spectrometer to study lunar ice. Although analysts forecast $371 million in revenue next year, they don&#39;t expect profitability until at least 2026, making LUNR a speculative investment suitable for those with a high-risk tolerance.
<h2>Redwire Corporation (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/rdw#NYSE">RDW</a>)</h2>
With a market cap of just $444 million and modest daily trading volume, Redwire is relatively under-the-radar among space stocks. However, its performance in 2024 has caught the market&#39;s attention, with the stock up 138% YTD. Redwire provides essential space infrastructure and solutions to both government and commercial clients worldwide, making it a key player in the space economy.
Most notably, Redwire announced on October 2 that it&#39;s providing the critical onboard computer system for the European Space Agency&#39;s (ESA) Hera mission, Europe&#39;s first flagship planetary defense mission. Hera works with NASA&#39;s DART mission, which successfully impacted the asteroid system Didymos in 2022, using Redwire&#39;s power and navigation tech.
Despite weaker-than-expected earnings in Q2 2024, analysts remain bullish on Redwire due to its revenue growth and technological advancements. The company reported ($0.27) per share, missing the consensus estimate by $0.15, but exceeded revenue expectations with $78.11 million. With a consensus Buy rating and a price target of $7.65, analysts see nearly 13% potential upside for the stock.

Researchers at Texas A&amp;M&#8217;s hemp-breeding program have achieved a unique milestone in their quest to develop super strains.
Led by Dr. Russell Jessup, the team successfully identified and bred strains that can thrive in Texas' extreme heat and arid conditions. These genetics will now be added to the U.S. Department of Agriculture&#8217;s (USDA) national collection, providing a valuable resource for <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/08/40445518/california-cannabis-exodus-wildfires-low-prices-taxes-threaten-cultivators-survival">farmers</a> across the country.
Dr. Jessup shared the magician&#8217;s trick in an <a href="https://www.austinchronicle.com/columns/2024-10-04/the-austin-chronic-texas-aams-hemp-breeding-program-adds-drought-resistant-genetics-to-the-national-/">interview</a> with Kevin Curtis in The Austin Chronicle: &#8220;We torture plants with high lights, high temperature, high salts, I don't water them, I put them in crappy soil. We torture the heck out of them, then see which ones are the MMA plants, and those are the ones we pick.&#8221; 
This testing ensures only the strongest and most resilient hemp plants are selected for further breeding.
The breeding program focuses on overcoming challenges specific to Texas&#8217; climate. Scientists aim to select those genetics that will better adapt to hostile environments, like extreme heat, extreme humidity or lack of water.
The resulting strains aim to meet the demands of farmers willing to grow industrial hemp for seed or fiber purposes, like drought-resistant hemp.
According to Dr. Jessup, "The material out of Colorado, Oregon, and Europe does okay in Amarillo and the Panhandle, but when you get below Dallas, and especially below Austin, it just goes to hell."&nbsp;

Hemp's value extends beyond its price as a commodity and its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/08/40418137/industrial-hemps-14b-projected-growth-an-investment-opportunity-too-good-to-miss">multiple industrial</a> use cases. 
Hemp is increasingly recognized as a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/22/11/29865659/hemp-can-be-crucial-in-controlling-climate-change-and-its-destined-to-be-wildly-profitable-win-w">sustainable crop</a> that can play a crucial role in combating climate change. It is also known for its ability to sequester carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere more efficiently than trees.
According to studies, hemp can absorb up to 16 tons of CO2 per hectare annually, making it a powerful tool in carbon farming initiatives. Additionally, hemp requires less water compared to other crops like cotton, reducing its environmental impact.
Since the launch of the <a href="https://www.ams.usda.gov/rules-regulations/hemp/questions-and-answers">Hemp Production Program</a>, the USDA has <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/21/10/23306858/usda-will-invest-20-million-in-research-on-sustainable-hemp-agriculture">invested</a> millions into sustainable hemp research, including projects aimed at understanding hemp's climate benefits. The department has also <a href="https://apps.ams.usda.gov/CMS/CropSearch.aspx">certified</a> 19 varieties of hemp.
