Robotaxi Briefing

Track autonomous driving and Robotaxi sector intelligence with Pony.ai, Waymo, Tesla Robotaxi, and Baidu Apollo as core targets. Generates twice-daily incremental briefings with real source URLs, delta extraction against previous reports, and competitive landscape analysis.

Robotaxi & Autonomous Driving Briefing

Generates twice-daily (08:00 / 20:00 CST) incremental intelligence briefings for the autonomous driving and Robotaxi sector, focusing on Pony.ai, Waymo, Tesla, and Baidu Apollo.

Core Rules

• 24-Hour Freshness: Every news article included MUST have been published within the last 24 hours from report generation time. Since reports are generated twice daily, any article older than 24h has already been covered — discard immediately.

Core Targets

• Pony.ai (小马智行) — primary Chinese Robotaxi ADR
• Waymo — global leader, expansion and safety events
• Tesla Robotaxi — Cybercab, FSD progress, regulatory
• Baidu Apollo (百度萝卜快跑) — Chinese competitor
• Others: Zoox, Cruise, Aurora, WeRide as relevant

Execution Pipeline

Step 1: Reddit Scan

curl -s https://www.reddit.com/r/SelfDrivingCars/new.json?limit=15 -H "User-Agent: my-agent/1.0"

Extract posts/permalinks related to Pony.ai or Waymo.

Step 2: Media Deep Scan

Use web_search to search for:

• Pony.ai / 小马智行
• Waymo
• Tesla Robotaxi

Must cover:

• English media: Bloomberg, CNBC, Reuters, TechCrunch, WSJ, The Verge
• Chinese media: 财联社, 36氪, 晚点LatePost, 华尔街见闻, 新浪财经
• Also search X/Twitter: site:x.com

Step 3: URL Resolution (Mandatory)

web_search often returns Google News redirect URLs (news.google.com/...). Every URL must be resolved:

curl -sIL -o /dev/null -w "%{url_effective}\n" "URL"

• Only keep resolved final-domain URLs (bloomberg.com, cnbc.com, etc.)
• If resolution fails or returns 403/404/429: drop the link, note as 来源：媒体名（原文链接不可用）
• Never fabricate or construct URLs

Step 4: Delta Extraction (24-Hour Window)

Load ALL reports from the past 24 hours:

• Reports are stored in ~/.openclaw/workspace-group/memory/robotaxi_report_*.md (timestamped filename pattern robotaxi_report_YYYYMMDD_HHMM.md)
• Read every report whose timestamp is within 24 hours of now
• Build a merged set of all events/topics they covered
• This prevents re-flagging old news that was covered in an earlier report (not just the immediately previous one)

Strict delta filtering:

• Only report new facts, new data, or new sentiment not covered in ANY report from the past 24 hours
• If the morning report covered something, do not repeat in the evening unless there is significant new development
• If nothing new in the past 12 hours, output "过去半天 Robotaxi 赛道无重大增量动态"

Step 5: Generate Briefing

Produce a focused, sharp incremental briefing with:

• Competitive comparisons and media insights
• Every citation must include the resolved final URL from Step 3
• Use delta labels: 🔴 [增量更新] for new facts, ⚪ [跟进报道] for repeats

Step 6: Save State

Save the new report to ~/.openclaw/workspace-group/memory/robotaxi_report_YYYYMMDD_HHMM.md (using the report's generation time). Then DELETE any robotaxi_report_*.md files older than 24 hours to keep the directory clean.

Report Format

Delta Overview

Start with a timeline summary of the reporting window and number of incremental items found.

Core Increments

Group by topic/company, each item with:

• Headline with delta label
• Source with resolved URL
• Brief competitive context

Zero-Delta Confirmation Table

List all monitored dimensions with status against previous report:

• Pony.ai, Baidu Apollo, Waymo, Tesla, Zoox, Cruise
• Chinese tech media (财联社/36氪/晚点/华尔街见闻)

Key Calendar

Priority-ranked upcoming events for the sector.

Core Judgment

Synthesize the narrative shift in the past window with forward-looking implications.

Formatting Rules

• Language: All output in Chinese
• Feishu: Avoid tables if any cell exceeds 8 Chinese characters (mobile line-wrapping issue). Use lists, bold, emoji instead. Tables OK only for short cells (numbers, short labels ≤ 4 chars).
• Direct output: Output the report body directly. OpenClaw handles delivery. Do NOT use message tool.
• No <think> tags: Avoid any internal reasoning output to save tokens.

Anti-Hallucination Rules

• Pony.ai / Baidu / Waymo financial data, stock prices, license/permit status: must have at least one credible source for cross-verification
• Do not regurgitate AI-generated content farm articles
• Time verification: post-market data cannot appear in intraday reports
• All rules in MEMORY.md Section 8 (source credibility) and Section 10 (report publishing requirements) apply
