Feb 10

0202 GMT - Investors' confidence in robotaxis has improved over the past few months, driven by tangible progress in robotaxi deployment and regulatory compliance globally, Daiwa analysts write in a note. Pony AI posted unit economics breakeven in Guangzhou in 3Q and in Shenzhen in 4Q, marking a milestone in commercialization, they say. Investors are now moving beyond the grand narrative of robotaxis reshaping the entire mobility landscape and are increasingly focused on business models, unit economics, and realistic timelines to profitability, they say. Daiwa reaffirms its positive stance on China's driving autonomy supply chain and its top picks are Hesai, Pony AI, and Horizon Robotics.(jiahui.huang@wsj.com; @ivy_jiahuihuang)
