How to treat the design of Xiaomi's autopilot debut? What about safety?

According to official sources, Xiaomi invested 3.3 billion yuan in R&D in the first phase of autonomous driving. Cost, the establishment of research and development center. More than 500 people; Group D expects more than 600 people by the end of this year. Xiaomi wholly acquired Shendong Technology, an autonomous driving startup company, to supplement technologies and personnel related to autonomous driving; At the same time, Xiaomi is also committed to the medium and long-term industrial chain layout in the field of autonomous driving, and has invested in more than ten upstream and downstream enterprises in the field of autonomous driving, with related investment exceeding 2 billion yuan.

In fact, Xiaomi has accumulated some technologies in advance in autonomous driving, such as artificial intelligence algorithm and camera technology. However, whether comparing Tesla or Wei Xiaoli, the test car of 140 seems a little thin. If we want to realize real automatic driving, we need a lot of road data feedback. Judging from the shape of the car body, the test car looks like BYD Han, and the roof should be a fixture equipped with lidar and huge test equipment.

From the spray font under the car body, it can be found that Xiaomi intelligent driving system may be named? Xiaomi pilot? , will continue to use lidar scanning technology. Xiaomi's self-driving car may adopt pure electric design. In terms of software, Xiaomi's self-driving car will be equipped with MIUI visual desktop operating system based on Android system, which can form a better smooth interconnection with Xiaomi products equipped with MIUI system.

In terms of technology research and development, Xiaomi self-driving car has more than 20 patents and technologies independently developed by Xiaomi. Judging from some information of Xiaomi's self-driving car, there is no black technology and new features that make us shine. Moreover, Xiaomi's self-driving car should take the old road of Xiaomi's mobile phone, that is, assembly and OEM. Although Xiaomi's self-driving car does not indicate where all the parts used come from, it can be guessed that all the equipment parts of Xiaomi's self-driving car should come from traditional car-making enterprises and some technology companies. Because Xiaomi is a technology Internet enterprise, building a car is cross-disciplinary, and building a car is not an easy task.
