The word that comes to mind is 'retrenchment'.

They still have Tilting Motors Works inhouse, but the MLM is toast. Their tilt mechanism might be licensed to Southeast Asia. It should do well in that market.

Faction is apparently still interested, that will further the autonomous driving effort. With some indetermenant amount of effort, they might beat rival the Robotaxi for small-scale use.

The one I've spoken for is sitting there needing a Cyclopean headlight (9½" 1934 Ford Commercial) and black leather saddle bags with fringe and chrome stars.
