Proof of Usefulness Score

Industry Mainstay

AutoX is a legitimate, high-value autonomous driving unicorn (valuation >$1B) with verified Level 4 RoboTaxi fleets in China and California. However, the submission itself is of extremely poor quality, containing factual errors (e.g., stating market cap as 17 million) and false traction claims ('most people have used my product'). The score reflects the company's high real-world utility and technical sophistication, but is significantly suppressed by low Quality Factors due to the unreliable and unprofessional submission data.
