PHYSIX OBSERVATION

Momenta holding a 51% controlling stake in the JV shows that the relationship between automakers and driver-assistance suppliers is shifting from procurement to capital ties. SAIC hands the lead to the technology provider in exchange for R&D efficiency, but over the long term its bargaining power and data ownership still bear watching. For the industry, this is a pragmatic choice by a traditional automaker to close its advanced driver-assistance gap.
