The Pudu D9 evidence ledger: every line has a date and a source.

3 arms-length events on file for the Pudu D9, newest first. Claims are listed and labeled; they never lift the tier.

Spec sheet (DOF, payload, battery, safety cert) ships with the August build, sourced from the maker's datasheet. Specs describe design intent; they never stand in for evidence.
Pudu Robotics: a listing is planned per Tier-1 reporting; no filing confirmed. Details and sources on the funding and IPO timeline. Facts only, never investment advice.
