Earnings Call Sentiment|Positive
The earnings call highlighted significant achievements such as the expanded partnership with Uber, successful launches of autonomous services in new cities, and strong revenue growth in the RoboTaxi segment. However, these positive aspects were somewhat offset by a slight decline in service revenue, increased operating expenses, and a substantial increase in net loss on a non-IFRS basis. Overall, the sentiment is positive, driven by the strategic milestones and growth potential.Company Guidance
