HONG KONG, April 1 — Xiaomi confirmed today that it is fully cooperating with authorities following a fatal crash involving its SU7 electric vehicle on March 29, and has submitted both driving and system data to aid the investigation.
While the company did not disclose the number of casualties, it stated that preliminary findings revealed the vehicle was operating in Navigate on Autopilot mode and traveling at 116kph before the crash. The driver attempted to take control and slow the car down, but it ultimately collided with a cement pole at 97kph. The incident reportedly took place in China’s Anhui province, according to local media.
Xiaomi, which entered the electric vehicle market last year with the launch of the SU7 sedan, has spent most of its 15-year history producing smartphones, smart home devices, and other consumer tech.
The SU7 comes in two versions of smart driving systems: a high-end variant equipped with LiDAR for urban navigation features such as obstacle avoidance and special vehicle recognition, and a standard version without LiDAR.
Xiaomi confirmed that the vehicle involved in the accident was the standard SU7 model, which features a less-advanced smart driving system. — Reuters
