Chinese EV makers turn to humanoid robotics as car sales slow

CNBC reports that Chinese electric-vehicle makers are ramping up development of humanoid robotics as the domestic car market cools.

The outlet links the strategic shift to slowing electric car sales and a sharp slide in automaker share prices, which has raised pressure to find new growth areas.

Instead of relying only on EV demand, multiple companies are shifting resources toward humanoid robotics, according to CNBC.

CNBC frames the move as a response to the current slowdown in China’s car market, with investors watching how quickly robotics efforts can translate into future business potential.
