- 杰西卡 发自 国庆版副驾寺 智能车参考 | 公众号 AI4Auto惨。自动驾驶正在全球范围内迎来新的春天,但对于第一波L4明星公司,并没有回暖迹象。图森未来已经转型AIGC游戏,另一家打着通用型自动驾驶第一股上市的Aurora,跌入了更深的谷底。作为谷歌无人车元老克里斯·厄姆森创办的公司,一度有着全球最高的无人驾驶估值,但如今三年过去,全球估值最的公司,市值已经蒸发过半。从今年递交的财报来看,情况糟糕:上半年归母净利润亏损3.47亿美元(约24亿元),毛利亏损2500万美元(约17580万元)。半年花掉9900万美元(约69615.8亿元)后,Aurora账上还剩下4.19亿美元(约29.5亿元)。最重要的是,没有营业收入。今年财报公布后,Aurora的股价一度跌超6%;上市之初最高135亿美元(约975.5亿元)的市值,只剩下68亿美元(约491.4亿元)。尽管如此,投资者似乎对Aurora,或者说对美国自动驾驶信心不死。在刚刚结束的一轮融资中,Aurora超额筹集到了4.83亿美元资金,折合人民币大概是34亿元,比原计划多出6300万美元(约44318万元)。但问题是,当前架构下的L4自动驾驶,真正达到可以规模化商业落地了吗?Aurora的deadline,今年年底。只出不进,半年狂亏24亿2017年,谷歌无人车开创者克里斯·厄姆森,创立了无人车初创公司Aurora;2021年,Aurora在美股以SPAC方式“借壳”合并上市。按照计划,今年年底就是商业模式的验收时刻。“大考”当前,Aurora在运营方面,表现得还很紧张:2023年合作营收为0,2022年可还有6800万美元(约47817万元)的收入;今年上半年递交的两份财报中,也没有再透露营业收入。由于没有营收,公司的支出直接体现为亏损。上半年净亏损3.47亿美元(约24.4亿元),亏损同比收窄16.2%;其中第二季度净亏损为1.82亿美元(约12.8亿元),同比收窄16.5%。毛利也在亏损当中,上半年毛利为-2500万美元(约18064万元),比去年同期亏损多出1500万美元(约10548万元)。第二季度的毛利为-1300万美元(约9141.5万元),去年同期为-500万美元(约3516万元)。支出方面,上半年营业费用为3.91亿美元(约23.6亿元),同比减少8%。其中,研发费用占大头,半年花费掉3.36亿美元(约23.6亿元),同比下降7.7%;销售、一般和管理费用为0.55亿美元(约3.9亿元),比去年同期减少9.8%。光第二季度,研发就烧掉1.7亿美元(约12亿元),但比去年同期减少9%。管理层在财报当中透露,研发费用减少,主要是由于开发车队的硬件成本下降,以及非现金股票薪酬下降;销售、一般及行政开支减少,则是人员成本,以及其他一般及行政开支减少所致。说白了就是,员工降薪减福利了。现金方面,主要的流动资金,来自现金和现金等价物以及短期投资。截至半年期末,公司有4.19亿美元(约29.5亿元)的现金流;自由现金流还没有转正,为-1.87亿美元(约13.2亿元)。如此看来,Aurora似乎还在经历“黎明前的黑暗”,也有人担心,Aurora是否会步图森未来的后尘。一年半没有营收、不断燃烧筹金的日子里,Aurora在做什么?投放商业模式进入倒计时不同于特斯拉等自动驾驶公司,Aurora追求的并非“完全自动驾驶”功能,也不打算拥有或运营大量车辆。“自动驾驶汽车就像是大海的沸腾,非常具有挑战性,”Aurora 联合创始人兼首席产品官斯特林·安德森曾表示:“大海太大了,不可能一下子就把所有问题都煮沸,解决某个具体问题。”Aurora瞄准的,就是无人驾驶卡车这一条赛道,并且计划以Driver as a Service(“DaaS”)的商业模式实现商业化。也就是,买家直接购买、管理搭载Aurora Driver的卡车,通过卡车提供相关服务,Aurora将按每英里收费赚取收入。另外,Aurora还计划以承运商的身份进入市场,和OEM、一级汽车供应商、车队运营商,以及其他第三方达成合作,预计年底,Aurora将提供20辆自动Paccar和Volvo卡车。以及,正在与Uber Freight合作,推出一项名为“Premier Autonomy”的计划:到2030年,Aurora将通过Uber Freight网络,提供自动驾驶商业服务。据Aurora透露,目前约有30辆自动运输卡车在德克萨斯州运行,每周为FedEx和Uber Freight 等客户运送75次货物。到2024年底,19辆无人驾驶卡车,将在休斯顿到达拉斯的240英里(约386公里)路段上行驶。计划不错,但是得烧钱。单单以每季度近两亿美元的研发费用,公司账户上4.2亿美元根本顶不住。Aurora也在财报中承认,过去曾因经营活动而产生负现金流,并且遭受重大损失,而且这种经营损失,他们预计还会持续。因此,他们表示需要筹集更多资金,来支持Aurora Driver的持续开发和商业化。就在8月初,Aurora宣布开启新一轮融资,出售价值高达4.2亿美元(约30亿元)的股票,最终超额筹集到了4.83亿美元(约34亿元)。对于这笔巨款,发言人Chibidakis透露,足够Aurora用到2026年,走上大规模部署无人驾驶卡车的道路,到2028年,公司将实现正向的现金流。筹资顺利并且超额完成,看来投资者仍保有信心,然而美国自动驾驶的发展,似乎不算一帆风顺。诞生于硅谷的美国自动驾驶五大家族:背靠福特和大众的Argo AI,尽管被狂砸20亿美元(约141亿元)的投资,最终却缺乏实质性进展,2022年宣告破产倒闭。Zoox曾试图打造技术、造车、运营“三手抓”路线,但资金链难撑野心,2020年,以13亿美元(约91亿元)的五折股价被亚马逊收购。通用汽车支持的Cruise,在旧金山、凤凰城等多个城市投放了Robotaxi,但去年“碾压事故”等风波未平,全美停运将近一年,最近才开始计划重返加州上路。除Aurora外的其他四家中,只有“同门师兄”Waymo,还在运营着一支车队,由700辆Robotaxi组成。而Aurora长期亏损,如今发展得靠融资支撑,年初还在1800名员工中,裁掉了3%。可以说身陷谷底,不知道是就此陨落,还是否极泰来。 (2024-10-01 20:26:46)
