From a Chinese industry daily: Pony.ai and GAC Lingcheng debuted an L4 autonomous heavy truck at IAA Hannover, with mass production planned this year — equipped with 9 LiDARs, 3 radars and 13 cameras for freight and port logistics. Xiaomi's Lei Jun visited Unitree Robotics, watching humanoid robots perform martial arts and calligraphy. Other items (SAIC-VW reshuffle, GAC share purchase, AITO-Huawei restructuring, Tesla Model Y L sagging rear wheels) are auto-industry news with little AI relevance.
