What believers are saying

- Gatik's focus on safety and collaboration with government and local communities enhances its reputation and operational reliability.
What critics are saying
- The autonomous vehicle sector is highly competitive, with significant investments going to other players like Wayve and Motional, which could overshadow Gatik.
