PHYSIX OBSERVATION

Dongfeng pushing the Momenta world model and the Thor-U chip down into the Aeolus line is a signal that the smart-driving supply chain has matured and is now penetrating mainstream price tiers. With 700TOPS of compute paired with urban NOA, if pricing can be held down, smart-driving competition in the same class will be forced to accelerate, and users will be able to buy advanced driver assistance at a lower threshold.
