You did mention in one of your answers that the automotive industry in the West is facing an existential crisis. So, do you think that if some of the big auto players in the West, especially in Europe or the US, if they were to not survive or -- would it take considerable years before that happens? Or is that an event which can happen in the next 12, 18, 24 months?
My understanding is that in terms of the EV part, except for Tesla and some of the top Chinese guys, almost all other players in the West are way behind. And so, is that correct? And so even if they merge some of these guys, how does it really help in a sense? And is-- the gap between these top players in China and Tesla, can it be narrowed much in, say, 12 -24-month time frame? Because from the other thing I understand is that one of the big issues for these guys is providing an EV, which -- in terms of quality, which matches these top guys plus at the price at which they are able to deliver, especially with the Chin ese guys.
