A what‑if from the future

What if Autonomy-and-EV convergence re-rates the mobility supply chain?

Scaling robotaxis and EVs lift demand for lidar-alternatives, power electronics, batteries and software, re-rating the broad mobility supply chain on autonomy-plus-electrification growth.

The class rate is measured from our dated, sourced event library (decade-normalized Poisson — the full table is public at base_rates.json). The variant’s share within its class is the analyst’s editorial call, published so you can audit it. A wider range means thinner precedent. Full recipe: methodology · scored at Reality Check.

The butterfly cascade

How this trigger trickles across markets, left → right — the root shock, its first‑order moves, then the ripple effects. Drag any node; tap a market for its real price history.

Resolution timeline — how this probability is moving

Our model's odds (gold) over time vs the crowd's (Polymarket, blue), from the past toward the 3–10 years horizon. Each dot is a real macro event that nudged the probability — green pushed it up, red pushed it down. Tap a dot for the source. The gold path is an illustrative reconstruction anchored to today's estimate — real dated events, not a live re-estimate history.

What it would mean

If this plays out, it is a risk-on shock. Scaling robotaxis and EVs lift demand for lidar-alternatives, power electronics, batteries and software, re-rating the broad mobility supply chain on autonomy-plus-electrification growth. The trigger decomposes into signed root‑shocks — Clean-energy abundance ▲ · Risk appetite ▲ · Robotics productivity ▲ — which propagate through our causal graph to the markets below.

If it happens — the markets it would move

Biggest moves first. Projected moves are cascade-model priors; hist A–B% = what comparable past events actually did (measured abnormal returns), and model prior · unmeasured marks markets with no analogue backing yet. Tap any market for its price history.

Historical precedent — what analogous events actually did

Across 10 analogous events (overlap‑weighted), as abnormal returns — market beta stripped, so it's the event's own effect, not the market backdrop. Shown at 20 days (persistent) and 5 days (immediate); ↺ fades = the two horizons disagree. Confidence = consistency × sample × significance.
