&nbsp;
As a part of Google I/O 2024, Android Automotive is getting support for Google Cast, new apps, and more.
Launching first on Rivian vehicles – which have not been publically confirmed to be running Android – Google Cast will be rolling out to Android Automotive. This allows users to connect to their car's WiFi network and cast content from Android and iOS to their car's display.
<blockquote>We're also pleased to share that Google Cast is coming to cars with Android Automotive OS, starting with Rivian with more to follow. This allows you to easily cast video content from your phone or tablet directly to the car while parked. If you don't already offer casting in your app, this is a simple way for your content to reach new audiences in the car.&nbsp;
</blockquote>
A native YouTube app is also coming to Rivian vehicles, and both features will arrive in an OTA update.
&nbsp;
Beyond just Cast, new entertainment apps are also coming to Android Automotive.
On "select" vehicles with Google built-in, apps for Max and Peacock will be available to install from the Google Play Store, as will the game Angry Birds. Those should end up being just the first of a new wave of Android Automotive apps, though.
Google is introducing a new set of tiers of app quality for cars. This will allow more apps to work on cars even if they aren't fully designed for everything a car screen has to offer. "Tier 1," Google explains, will be "the best of what's possible in cars" with hardware optimization, support for driving and parked modes, and the ability to use additional instrument clusters and panoramic displays. "Tier 2" supports the main display in a car and can work with parked and driving modes. "Tier 3," meanwhile, just means the app works in the car, usually only while parked. Effectively, this is just bringing a tablet app to the car's display. Google will also be proactively reviewing apps that may fit into Tier 3 and making them available for install. Developers can <a href="https://forms.gle/uBF9nyFdABnLh7wQ7">request a review</a> if they feel their app qualifies.
Google also announced that there are now over 200 million vehicles on the road using the phone-based Android Auto experience. The Uber Driver app is also now on Android Auto, Google says. The app was announced last year, but has seen a very slow rollout since.

<a href="https://electrek.co/2024/05/15/baidu-talks-about-using-tesla-robotaxi-in-china/">https://electrek.co/2024/05/15/baidu-talks-about-using-tesla-robotaxi-in-china/</a>
Baidu says that it is considering using Tesla's upcoming Robotaxi in China as the two major companies appear to be getting closer.
Following Elon Musk's recent visit to China, Tesla seems to have made progress toward bringing its ‘Supervised Full Self-Driving' to the country.
The automaker has reportedly secured conditional approval to deploy the system in the market.
Along with the approval, <a href="https://electrek.co/2024/04/29/tesla-tsla-surges-reports-china-approving-full-self-driving-deployment/">Tesla was reported to be working with Chinese tech giant Baidu on maps for self-driving</a>.
Tesla is already working with Baidu on navigation maps in China, but the report suggested that the two are getting closer to a deal on self-driving.
Now, a report from <a href="https://www.cnstock.com/commonDetail/171707">Shanghai Securities News</a> states that a Baidu executive said that the company is looking to use Tesla's upcoming Robotaxi (translated from Chinese):
<blockquote>On May 15, Xu Baoqiang, general manager of Baidu's autonomous driving technology department, told a reporter from the Shanghai Securities News that for the Robotaxi (shared taxi) that Tesla will launch, Baidu will use Tesla's specific application models and the pace of entering the Chinese market, etc., and consider possible cooperation opportunities.
</blockquote>
Baidu has its own autonomous driving effort and offers rideshare services with its vehicles. It would be interesting to see it partner with Tesla on self-driving.
Tesla has often said that it would be willing to supply and license its self-driving technology to other companies, and recently said that<a href="https://electrek.co/2024/04/23/tesla-in-talks-one-major-automaker-licensing-full-self-driving/"> it is in discussion with a major OEM</a>.

Walt Disney Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DIS#NYSE">DIS</a>) shares are trading lower. Disney CEO Bob Iger spoke at a media investment conference Wednesday <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/events/">hosted by MoffettNathanson</a>.
What To Know: According to a Bloomberg <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-05-15/bob-iger-says-disney-will-cut-marketing-spending-to-turn-profit">report</a>, Iger announced plans to cut marketing expenses for Disney+ at the MoffettNathanson investment conference on Wednesday. 
After years of investments focused on driving subscriber growth, Disney will now cut costs in an effort to realize profits in the streaming business by the end of Disney&#8217;s fiscal year. Disney reportedly expects to have double-digit profit margins in its direct-to-consumer streaming business sometime in the future. A specific time frame was not provided.
The report indicates that the media giant plans to take a page out of Netflix Inc&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NFLX#NASDAQ">NFLX</a>) playbook by investing in technology that will send customized messages to customers who may be showing signs of losing interest. The messages are expected to flag shows that may be of interest to customers who are engaging with the platform less.
Iger also briefly touched on the company&#8217;s parks business, noting that he expects it to &#8220;grow nicely&#8221; over the long term. The Disney CEO reportedly reiterated that the double-digit growth seen in the company&#8217;s parks business in recent years is not expected to last. 
Disney shares may also be experiencing some weakness Wednesday after Comcast Corp CEO Brian Roberts <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/24/05/38840134/competition-for-disney-comcast-to-offer-streaming-bundle-of-apple-tv-netflix-peacock-at-vas">announced a new streaming bundle</a> called &#8220;StreamSaver&#8221; at a conference on Tuesday.

Edible Garden AG Incorporated&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EDBL#NASDAQ">EDBL</a>) shares are jumping today after it reported&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/24/05/g38838882/edible-garden-reports-significant-27-6-year-over-year-revenue-growth-for-first-quarter-of-2024" rel="noreferrer noopener">first-quarter FY24 results</a>.
Revenue increased 27.6% Y/Y to $3.1 million, missing the consensus of $3.2 million. Revenue growth was led by increased customer demand for the cut and potted herbs products and the product lineup expansion.
Gross profit increased by 195.8%&nbsp;Y/Y, with a margin expansion of 171 basis points as the company&nbsp;started to realize&nbsp;the benefits of the strategic shift&nbsp;done&nbsp;earlier.
Selling, general&nbsp;and&nbsp;administrative expenses rose to $3.9 million from $2.7 million a year ago due to a one-time severance charge and higher audit, accounting, and legal fees related to the departure of the previous Chief Financial Officer.
The&nbsp;company&#8217;s&nbsp;transitioned away from third-party growers, with Edible Garden now producing around 95% of its fresh product line in company-owned facilities. EPS loss of $(13.65) missed&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/earnings" rel="noreferrer noopener">the street view of $(7.60)</a>.
In the quarter, Edible Garden collaborated with Uncle Giuseppe&#8217;s Marketplace to distribute Edible Garden herbs across&nbsp;their locations in&nbsp;New York and New Jersey.&nbsp;Also, the company&nbsp;secured a three-year contract with a U.S. food retailer.&nbsp;The company projects the contract to generate around $18 million to $20 million in revenue over its initial term.
Jim Kras, Chief Executive Officer of Edible Garden,&nbsp;&#8220;In early March 2024, we expanded our distribution through KeHE Distributors, a leading distributor of natural, organic, specialty, and fresh products, and in April, we added UNFI Distributors, one of North America&#8217;s top grocery wholesalers of health and specialty food.&#8221;&nbsp;
&#8220;Earlier this month, we entered into a product development agreement with Hermann Pickle Company, a leader in refrigerated kosher dill pickles, sauerkraut, and other fermented foods, which have been fixtures at delis and dinner tables nationwide for generations.&#8221;
In April, Edible Garden&nbsp;reported&nbsp;a preliminary first-quarter year-over-year increase in produce revenues of 40% and&nbsp;an increase in&nbsp;cut herb revenue of more than 200%&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/04/38297222/why-edible-garden-stock-is-racing-higher" rel="noreferrer noopener">compared to the same period last year</a>.

Rumble Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RUM#NASDAQ">RUM</a>) shares were down in trading on Wednesday after the company reported its first-quarter results.
The results came amid an <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/earnings">exciting earnings season</a>.
While monetization improved, engagement declined sequentially, as the previous quarter benefited from sports and political content, according to Oppenheimer.
The Rumble Analyst: Jason Helfstein reiterated a Perform rating on Rumble.
The Rumble Thesis: The company's U.S. monthly average users rose by 6% year-on-year to 35 million, versus a 26% decline in the previous quarter, while U.S. monthly ARPU (average revenue per user) grew by 23% quarter-on-quarter, Helfstein said in a note.
Check out <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings">other analyst stock ratings</a>.
While GAAP gross profit loss of $14 million, was $7 million better than Oppenheimer's estimate, EBITDA loss of $28 million was $5 million better, the analyst stated.
Rumble's revenue declined by 13% sequentially in the first quarter, but management reiterated their prior revenue guidance of sequential growth in the second quarter as well as their prior expectation "that minimum guarantees will moderate significantly through &#8217;25, driving gross profit improvements," he added.
RUM Price Action: Shares of Rumble had declined by 2.24% to $6.99 at the time of publication on Wednesday.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Is LIDR A Good Stock To Buy? </h2>
An investor can make a few decisions when deciding whether a stock is a good buy. In addition to valuation metrics and price action which you can find on Benzinga's quote pages &#8211; like <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/LIDR">AEye</a>&#8216;s page for example &#8211; there are factors like whether or not a company pays a dividend or buys a large portion of its stock each quarter.
These are known as capital allocation programs. AEye does not pay a dividend, but obviously has a few ways it can return value to shareholders. Feel free to search Benzinga's <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/calendars/dividends">dividend calendar</a> for the next company that is due to pay a dividend and determine what kind of yield you can earn for holding a share of the company.
For example, if you're looking to earn an annualized return of 7.32%, you'll need to buy a share of Genco Shipping &amp; Trading by May 21. Once done, you can expect to receive a nominal payout of $0.42 on May 30.
Buyback programs are obviously different and highly variable. A company can approve a buyback program and purchase shares as it sees fit over the course of time in which the buyback was authorized. Looking through the latest news on <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/LIDR">AEye</a> will often yield whether or not the company has approved a buyback program recently. Buyback programs usually serve as a support for share prices, serving as a backstop for demand.
LIDR Price Action: According to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/?gspk=YWRhbWVja2VydDUzMzY&amp;gsxid=zBMR4PKmcgBw">Benzinga Pro</a>, AEye shares are up 35% at $3.32 at the time of publication Wednesday.
