2. The only domestic automobile manufacturer that has developed both large die-casting and die-casting materials. At present, the industry is rolling up the clamping force tonnage of die casting, and Xiaomi is firmly on the road of full-stack self-development, from self-developed materials, equipment cluster systems, to finished castings, Xiaomi has completed the full-stack self-research of almost all links in the large die-casting industry chain.
In the field of intelligent soft technology, based on Xiaomi's surging OS, Xiaomi's intelligent cockpit has realized the reconstruction of the bottom layer, the evolution of the car, and the creation of an advanced intelligent mobile spaceIn the field of intelligent driving, Xiaomi has launched three key technologies in the industry, including adaptive zoom BEV technology, road large model, and super-resolution occupancy network technology, and Xiaomi intelligent autonomous driving, which has top-level configuration and full-stack self-development, will be among the first echelon of the industry in 2024.
In addition, the comprehensive empowerment of AI has also become a new highlight of Xiaomi's car integration of cutting-edge technologies and hard-core innovation breakthroughs. For example, in addition to the industry's first road model, Xiaomi has also developed the world's first mass-produced "end-to-end perception decision-making model" for the valet parking scenario of intelligent driving, which can observe and dynamically adjust ultra-difficult parking spaces such as parking in mechanical storage spaces in real time.
Promote the evolution of smart electric vehicles into "mobile smart spaces".
In recent years, major mobile phone manufacturers have crossed over to the automotive industry, and brought the advantages accumulated by the mobile phone industry in terms of design and mobile Internet ecology to the automotive industry, injecting new vitality into the automotive industry.
We don't want to build a mediocre car, we want to build a car that is comparable to the dream car of Porsche and Tesla. At the press conference, Lei Jun shared the goal of Xiaomi Auto: to be comparable to Porsche and Tesla, to create a dream car in the new era, and to do a good job of looking, driving, comfortable and safe mobile intelligent space.
In his opinion, the automobile has been developed for more than 130 years and has always been the "king of industry". In the first 100 years of the car, Porsche was one of the best vehicles for travelSince the beginning of the new century, Tesla has taken the lead in setting a precedent for intelligent electric vehicles, making cars a "mobile computing terminal".At present, the new mission is to create an "advanced mobile intelligent space", which is the starting point of Xiaomi's car manufacturing.
Xiaomi's first car SU7 has poured this car-making concept from the beginning of research and development to the successful mass production. It is reported that Xiaomi Su7 is positioned as a "C-class high-performance ecological technology car", based on high performance, ecological technology, and mobile intelligent space experience, all three of which have made the ultimate performance. Industry experts said that Xiaomi Su7 fully demonstrates the path innovation of Xiaomi's "technology ecology" and the cognitive leadership of "mobile intelligent space".
In terms of extreme technology and advanced driving experience, the 000 acceleration of the Xiaomi SU7 MAX vehicle soared directly to 2In 78 seconds, he stepped into the "2-second supercar club" and reached a top speed of 265 km h, surpassing the Porsche Taycan Turbo in both times.
Xiaomi Su7 is also a true all-rounder for multiple scenarios, full-stack self-developed intelligent chassis control algorithm, with full-dimensional intelligent perception and global collaborative control, which can realize millisecond-level full-scene adaptive dynamic chassis control, while controlling stably, it brings a comfortable driving experience with almost "zero bumps".
In terms of the advanced experience of the mobile intelligent space, the five major features of Xiaomi surging OS (underlying reconstruction, cross-terminal intelligent connection, active intelligence, global security, and open ecology) are fully on the car and evolve for the car, and the interactive experience of the Xiaomi smart cockpit is consistent with that of the mobile phone and tablet, and it can be quickly used without learning, and the system is also extremely smooth, and the car machine system is 149 seconds of fast start, but also has a seamless cross-terminal interconnection experience between the mobile phone and the car machine, such as the mobile phone into the cockpit, the car will automatically appear mobile phone icon, can call out the mobile phone desktop with one click.
Xiaomi SU7 has achieved three major ecological empowerment, integrating Xiaomi application ecology, hardware ecology and Xiaomi Cariot ecology open to third parties, bringing an unprecedented intelligent space experience. Among them, the car machine system is deeply adapted to mainstream on-board applications, and the Xiaomi tablet application ecology is seamlessly on the car, 5000+ applications will be gradually adapted, and the mobile phone application can also be pinned to the car, and the native application of the car machine can be changed in seconds.
Lei Jun said that the ultimate realm of intelligent electric vehicles is the leap of science and technology and the integration of people and vehicles. Only the most advanced technology and the most complete ecology can achieve the integration of people and vehicles, such as the command of the arm and the control of the driver, the freedom of control, and the understanding of what you think and what you want in the intelligent space, which is the ability that science and technology can only have when it leaps to a new stage.
The whole ecology of people, cars and homes" is a complete closed loop, and Xiaomi has ushered in a major leap.
At the end of October this year, the Xiaomi 14 series was successfully released, and the user satisfaction rate of e-commerce purchases in the first month exceeded 99%, and drove Xiaomi to rank first in China's smartphone market in November, and ranked in the top three in the high-end market of more than 4000 yuan, Xiaomi's high-end progress has achieved a huge victory. At the same time, Xiaomi also announced a comprehensive upgrade of the group's strategy, from "mobile phone AIoT" to "people, cars and home ecology", and cars have become the most important part of Xiaomi's group strategy.
With the addition of Xiaomi Automobile, Xiaomi ushered in a major leap moment - Xiaomi's "people, cars, and home ecology" officially completed the closed loop.
"The whole ecology of people, vehicles and homes" is a super intelligent ecology that comprehensively connects people, vehicles and homes, realizes seamless connection of hardware equipment, real-time collaboration, drives industry chain partners, and creates a people-centered and actively serves people.
It enables collaboration and co-evolution between people, devices, and intelligent services. Ecology provides intelligent services for people, and people bring intelligence to the ecology to make the ecology smarter. With the HyperConnect cross-terminal interconnection framework, Xiaomi Surging OS has opened up more than 200 categories, including Xiaomi cars, efficiently connected more than 600 million devices around the world, and covered more than 95% of users' life scenarios, so that intelligence can serve everyone in detail. At the same time, with the blessing of AI empowerment, people's operating habits will make the "whole ecology of people, vehicles and homes" smarter. As an intelligent thinking center, Xiaomi HyperMind can perceive and learn people's daily habits and provide automated suggestions, and Xiaomi Surging OS will gradually become an intelligent center that understands users better.
"The whole ecology of people, vehicles and homes" also realizes the mutual empowerment of products, technologies and industries, and continues to open up. In the past 13 years, Xiaomi has laid out 12 technical fields and 99 subdivisions, forming a "converged technology stack" based on the principle of "deep integration of software and hardware, and comprehensive empowerment of AI", and continuously empowering product R&D and manufacturing. At the same time, Xiaomi also collaborates with industry partners to lay out the "industrial ecology" in the whole link from industry developers, first-class chains to intelligent manufacturing, and is committed to gathering the potential energy of the whole industry, making Xiaomi Surging OS a more open operating system, and making the "people, vehicles, and home ecology" an open ecology that embraces more possibilities.
