Great work! However, I might have different opinions with you. My conclusion is that in China, the leading auto-taxi player will be Baidu who already operates in some area in Beijing and Chongqing. There are three reasons:the first is its close relationship with government, the second is the advanced algorithm proved by DMV data in California and the third is the mapping system(Baidu map). If you check the DMV data, there are one name also stand out which is Apple. As for Tesla, I do not think it has advantage in China for auto-taxi. The advantage is its data. Every Tesla has shadow mode which records the driver's data. They might be able to benefit a lot from becoming a data provider in the future rather than joining the fierce game.
