As of March 30th, the city NOA feature of Xiaomi SU7 has been unveiled, with numerous bloggers releasing related experiential content. We've also conducted some preliminary testing.
At present, although Xiaomi SU7's city NOA is still in the early engineering stage, the overall process is already very refined. It performs admirably in aspects such as navigating through intersections and avoiding vehicles.
Lei Jun announced that Xiaomi plans to begin user testing for the SU7 in April, open it to 10 cities in May, and ultimately expand its availability nationwide.
The Xiaomi delivery plan kicks off at the end of April with deliveries for the Standard and Max versions, followed by deliveries for the Pro version at the end of May. This means that many regular users will be able to experience the Urban NOA feature right from the start, except for those with the Founder's Edition.
It's understood that Xiaomi has independently developed intelligent driving technology, with an initial total investment of 3.3 billion CNY, which has been increased to 4.7 billion CNY. The dedicated team comprises over 1000 members, with an additional 500 staff in the new R&D center in Wuhan. They've deployed over 300 test vehicles.
Lei Jun stated that the goal for 2024 is to enter the top tier of the intelligent driving industry.
