TechCrunch Mobility: A new robotaxi scorecard shows China’s dominance

Autnmy AI launched the Road to Autonomy Index, a benchmarking system that ranks autonomous vehicle companies using public and licensed data sources. The index updates every 12 hours and evaluates areas like operations, scale, revenue, partnerships, manufacturing, and safety, with early results showing China ranking strongly across multiple categories.

The index reflects a maturing autonomous vehicle market where measurable deployment and business fundamentals matter more than demos or hype. China’s strong showing suggests the next phase of autonomy may be shaped by scale, regulation, and commercialization rather than purely by technical breakthroughs.
