Investors wondering how to profit in this choppy market would do well to heed the amazing news that came out of South by Southwest recently. That's because the huge tech conference in Austin focuses on one of the single best predictors for success: looking past the short-term noise with eyes fully fixed on the long term.

And, indeed, the tech we call "physical AI" just hit a major inflection point -- a huge signal about what's going to happen over the next 1-2 years.  (And to be honest, most investors didn't even notice it.)

Namely: Self-driving cars are about to explode across the country, opening up potentially big investing opportunities for investors who anticipate this and get in before it's too late.

Self-driving cars, are you kidding me?

Yes, you have every right to roll your eyes at the idea of self-driving cars -- a technology promised to us long ago, but seemingly stuck in neutral for years now.

But by the time SXSW settled on Austin this year, that promise was finally poised to deliver --– in a huge way. Here's why:

The 500x growth opportunity

Google's self-driving unit -- Waymo -- has been testing for a few years now in Phoenix and San Francisco with a rideshare service that to this point has been completing about 140,000 fully autonomous rides weekly.

Uber, meanwhile, handles 72 million -- about 500X more -- rides weekly.

And, you guessed it, the two companies have announced a partnership that makes Waymo's self-driving cars available to those 72 million riders via the Uber app. The expansion started in Austin during SXSW, and I witnessed it firsthand: Ordinary Uber riders hailing a car and finding a completely empty Jaguar I-PACE vehicle pulling up to meet them.

After Austin, these cars will roll out in Atlanta very soon -- with many more cities planned after that.

That's why I believe we're on the cusp of seeing the first wave of that 500X growth potential beginning to unlock.

This potential growth could dwarf previous tech revolutions. Consider:

• Cloud Computing (7X growth): When Amazon returned 2,400%

• Smartphones (10X growth): When Apple returned 4,200%

• Electric Vehicles (77X growth): When Tesla returned 15,400%

Now imagine what's possible with a 500X growth potential!

I'll be the first to admit this may not be an exact apples to apples comparison, but the point is this: When you're talking about possible growth of this magnitude, the potential opportunity for individual investors is immense.

As one expert put it at SXSW: Self-driving cars are the poster child for the much bigger physical AI tech wave that could dominate our future. Another said: This is self-driving's "ChatGPT" moment.

I believe this opportunity is enormous, but not if we wait until the cars start appearing in more and more cities.

But how can interested investors take advantage?

The hidden winners strategy

There's nothing wrong with considering the big names you already know are involved with self-driving cars: Like Tesla, Google, or Uber.

But I believe there's much more potential in uncovering the little-known stocks that could surprise investors and really surge when the tipping point hits.

And that's the reason for my email today. Our Motley Fool Stock Advisor analysts are recommending one company that's quietly powering the self-driving revolution behind the scenes. It's not making headlines – yet. (Which is great for investors.)

This company:

• Is playing critical roles in AI processing, sensor integration, and real-time data analysis in autonomous vehicles and robotics.

• According to our Stock Advisor analysts, is poised to more than double its revenue and profit as a direct result of the data center expansion and increased overall adoption of AI, self-driving cars, 5G, the Internet of Things, and robotics.

• Has patented technology for its products that set it apart from the competition

We like the business so much The Motley Fool has invested over $20,000 of our own money in the stock.
