INTRODUCTION

The mobility industry is facing growing pressure from volatile markets, fragile supply chains, new regulations and rapid technological change. At the same time, geopolitical tensions and industrial policy shifts — particularly between the U.S. and China — are reshaping global competition. The U.S. continues to lead in artificial intelligence and digital innovation, while China is rapidly advancing its technological and industrial capabilities through strategic long-term initiatives.
