0242 GMT - A fatal car accident involving Xiaomi's smart-driving features has hurt demand for all smart-driving related models, Nomura analysts write in a note. Considering the latest reciprocal tariffs from the U.S. and China's counter-measures, Nomura has turned a bit more cautious on the entire Chinese auto market and developments surrounding smart-driving technology, they say. Still, the brokerage expects more incentives from both central and local governments for the rest of 2025 to boost auto demand, despite recent challenging macro environment.(jiahui.huang@wsj.com; @ivy_jiahuihuang)
