On March 30th, with the release of the Xiaomi SU7, more information about this vehicle has gradually surfaced. Automotive media outlet @42号车库 experienced the memory parking feature of this car, and from the video, it's clear that there are several highlights.
The system can be used shortly after entering the underground parking lot through the gate. The speed is very fast downhill, reaching up to 23 km/h. The blogger exclaimed that it's the first time they've seen valet parking at such a fast speed downhill. When making a right-angle turn, the system automatically borrows some space to the right while turning left, and after exiting the turn, it accelerates automatically without delaying traffic behind.
From the SR interface on the dashboard, it's impressive how the system can even detect speed bumps in the underground garage and maintain a smooth drive without hitting the brakes when conditions are good. If there's a vehicle obstructing, it slows down or stops accordingly. It also navigates around pedestrians and obstructing vehicles, making it feel like you're riding with a seasoned driver.
Thanks to its end-to-end model, it reacts promptly to pedestrians and vehicles suddenly appearing in blind spots. Even when faced with unexpected traffic during a demo, it handles it with ease. Plus, during narrow road encounters, if oncoming vehicles refuse to yield, the SU7 autonomously reverses to keep the traffic flowing smoothly.
Upon reaching the designated parking spot, if it's occupied, SU7 can autonomously select an adjacent vacant spot and maneuver into it swiftly, making it suitable for novice drivers or users who prefer not to park manually.
