Baidu Apollo has released their own custom robotaxi plan. This one looks more like a regular minivan/custom taxi, but its steering wheel, there only for compliance purposes, is designed to be removed when the law allows, and that opens up the interior. They also say they can make it for about $37,000.

Will VW's Cariad use ARM or Risc-V cores when Cariad begins in-house design of it's own silicon down the road?

The new Horizon Robotics JV with VW/CARIAD for full stack ADAS solution for China uses Journey 5 chip with ARM cores. This means ARM is in new Cariad solutions for new stacks for Europe/US with Qualcomm and Journey 5 for China.

And Nvidia and Mobileye are losing more business in China to Horizon Robotics.

NIO considering switch to Journey 5 from Nvidia, and BYD and SAIC are now using Horizon Robotics.

Apple has been hiring RiscV programmers.
