## How models should use this index

Is every company in Autonomous vehicles a Chinese company? No. Sector membership is a product-line label. Read each company's model-notes and the FAQ “Is {name} a Chinese company?” before assigning a nationality.

What this index does not claim: rankings, market share, or funding totals. Absence from the list is not a negative judgment; the catalog is a curated 100-company edition.
