The ramp up in auto kpi's over the next 12 months will basically just about cover the magna loan.
Gen3 is a failure just like gen2 - legislation is coming in in 5 months time and we have announced bugger all from an EU addressable market of 300,000 vehicles - if they can't sell it with legislation behind them then no wonder Mitsu has delivered nothing of note from America
As for the wildcards - people have been saying that for over a decade now - Qualcomm, magna, valeo, Collins, eroad, geotab, omnivision and at least 15 more collaborations - what have they led to? - yes magna VW but what about all the other mirror location RFQs
There will never be a wildcard they are just put out there to make people believe - doorbells, autonomous cars, robotics, rail
New car regs are clearly going to stall now given what a mess the world is in with so many wars so it wouldn't suprise me if the next 3 kpi's are all below 1.5m rather than the 2m people are expecting - the next one may even struggle to get over a million
