## Summary

Linear Capital shared an interview with Bot Auto founder Hou Xiaodi on Zhijian autoweek, in which he said that on April 30, the day before Musk announced the production version of the SemiTruck had rolled off the line, Bot Auto completed the first fully driverless autonomous truck commercial order in the United States, with no safety driver and no real-time remote human backup.

## Why it matters

The interview systematically lays out a commercialization judgment framework centered on CPM, which can be used to understand the differences between L4 companies and L2+ companies on metrics and issues.
