On Oct. 10 He Xiaopeng said XPeng has been elected secretary-general of the newly formed Task Force on Autonomous Driving Scenario-Related Information Exchange (TF-ESRI) under the UNECE GRVA. He said this should be the first time a Chinese company holds a secretary-general role within the UNECE autonomous-driving regulatory framework and that XPeng will work to bring Chinese autonomous-driving operational experience into global rule coordination to support safe global deployment.

The jury in the Qualcomm (QCOM.O) v. Arm (ARM.O) lawsuit has not reached a verdict and will resume deliberations next week.

Desjardins Group economist Royce Mendes said Canada's labour market cooled sharply in September, partly reflecting deteriorating Ottawa–Washington trade talks. Employment fell about 68,000 in September and 42,000 in August, a two-month loss of roughly 110,000 jobs. Education posted the largest declines and health care also lost positions. Manufacturing employment fell for the first time since June; September was the first full month after the US imposed a new round of tariffs on Canadian goods. The unemployment rate rose 0.1ppt to 6.5%, though Mendes said the increase would have been larger absent a near 30-year low in the participation rate.
