This study evaluates how global OEMs are repositioning themselves within the emerging robotaxi landscape by transitioning from traditional automakers into autonomy-enabled platform suppliers. It examines evolving OEM strategies, the rise of software-defined vehicle architectures, and the growing influence of AI and chip partners in shaping Level-4–ready platforms.
The report analyzes why OEMs are shifting toward building complete robotaxi-capable vehicles for operators such as Uber, exploring how new partnership models, in-house capability building, and original design manufacturer (ODM)-style manufacturing approaches are redefining competitive differentiation. It highlights the accelerating trend of OEMs supplying autonomy-ready platforms rather than running fleets, as well as the emergence of platform-as-a-service models.
The study includes detailed profiles of leading OEMs, mapping their autonomy roadmaps, technology alliances, platform strategies, and robotaxi readiness.
It explains how robotaxis are reshaping the OEM role in autonomous mobility, identifying the paths and the partnerships that OEMs are choosing.
