Xiaomi's new product launch conference first disclosed the latest progress of autonomous driving technology

On August 11, Xiaomi's new autumn product launch conference was held. At this conference, the founder, chairman and CEO of Xiaomi Group officially announced the development of Xiaomi autonomous driving technology, and expressed the goal of Xiaomi's first camp in the autonomous driving industry in 2024. The release of this information was also the first time that Xiaomi Guanzhi entered the smart electric vehicle industry on March 30 last year, Xiaomi officially disclosed the details of the preparations of autonomous driving technology and personnel for the first time.

The reporter learned that the first phase of the Xiaomi autonomous driving project invested 3.3 billion R & D expenses, and the exclusive team has exceeded 500. "Among the current 500 teams, a backbone team of 50 top experts is composed of 50 top experts, and Posuo accounts for more than 70%, covering sensors, chips, perception control algorithms, simulation technology, high -precision maps, high -standard positioning, tool chain , Training capabilities and other autonomous driving technical talents. In addition to the exclusive team of 500 people, there are also strong support from multiple collaborative teams such as artificial intelligence laboratories, Xiaoai teams, mobile phone and cameras, to jointly create automatic automatic technology leaders Driving experience. "Lei Jun told reporters.

The reporter learned that in order to further enrich its accumulation in the field of autonomous driving, Xiaomi also wholly acquired the deep -moving technology of autonomous driving startups, focusing on enriching the technical and personnel of autonomous driving. In addition, more than ten upstream and downstream companies in the field of autonomous driving are invested, involving autonomous driving solutions, core sensors, core actuators, and domain controllers. The total amount of related investment exceeds 2 billion yuan.

According to the plan released by Lei Jun at the press conference, Xiaomi ’s first phase of Xiaomi Autonomous Driving Technology planned 140 test vehicles, which will be tested across the country.

In the coverage of scenes, mass production functions will cover high -speed, urban areas, and parking lots. Wait. "The person in charge of Xiaomi autonomous driving told reporters.

At the press conference, Xiaomi also announced the actual shooting video of the autonomous driving technical road test, showing its ability to autonomous driving technical algorithms and the ability to cover the whole scene. The reporter saw in the video that Xiaomi's testing vehicles were U -turning, around the island around, and continuous ramps and other driving scenarios, which all realized the intelligent automatic driving experience.

"We will also innovate and launch an integrated parking intelligent solution, covering a number of functions such as 'predetermined parking spaces', 'autonomous passenger parking', and 'mechanical arm automatic charging'. Under the premise of obeying relevant national regulations, the integrated experience of intelligent and service -oriented experience. "Xiaomi Autonomous Driving Relevant person in charge said.
