On the evening of August 11, I watched Lei Jun's 2022 annual speech in front of the computer. I listened to the chicken soup "crossing the valley of life" for one hour, watched the release of new electronic products and household appliances for one hour, and planted the latest millet range hood

Just when the upper eyelids and the lower eyelids had been fighting, leibus talked about one more thing. Unexpectedly, the climax came and the latest development of Xiaomi automobile came.

Lei Jun said that it has been 500 days since the official announcement to build a car. He has a deeper understanding of the automobile industry. He can't wait to build a car. He still needs to be in awe. He hopes that everyone can give them some space. There are too many rumors about Xiaomi cars. He doesn't plan to dispel them in the next two years.

So what progress has Xiaomi auto team made in the past 500 days? Lei Jun took out a video:

The protagonist of the video is the Xiaomi automatic driving test vehicle that was transmitted online last month. Yes, Lei Jun believes that automatic driving is the key to the victory of the intelligent electric vehicle industry, so Xiaomi chose automatic driving as the first breakthrough direction in vehicle manufacturing.

This is strikingly consistent with Apple's idea of building cars. Hardware is not the focus at this stage, but software is the king. Originally, I thought that Xiaomi automobile was also focused on cost performance, but I didn't expect that the focus of leibus was not here.

It can be seen from the video that Xiaomi's auto drive system can realize many functions such as automatic identification of obstacles, automatic turning around in unprotected scenes, active lane changing and overtaking, automatic driving into the ramp, one key calling for vehicles, automatic parking, and charging of the robot arm.

Maybe a lot of people think that this is it?

These functions have been realized by many automobile enterprises and automatic driving companies. Last year, the mobile charging function demonstrated by the animation was realized by the vision motch.

Lei Jun himself admits that there are still many gaps between these and his friends. However, the results achieved in such a short period of time have far exceeded his expectations. Moreover, they are all self-developed.

However, Xiaomi's automatic driving technology was not developed from scratch. After the official announcement of the car last year, Xiaomi wholly acquired the automatic driving startup Shendong technology, and also invested in more than 10 upstream and downstream enterprises in the field of automatic driving.

After watching this demo, some people in the automatic driving industry said that "there are no surprises and highlights" and "it is back to the level of 2019", which can be reached with the open source version of Baidu Apollo 5.0.

According to Lei Jun, Xiaomi plans to invest 3.3 billion yuan in the first phase of automatic driving. At present, the team has exceeded 500 people. Moreover, the team has become the top camp in the field of automatic driving. The first phase plans to test 140 test vehicles throughout the country.

Moreover, Lei Jun has also announced a small goal. In 2024, Xiaomi autonomous driving will enter the first camp of the industry.

Well... It only depends on Lei Jun's understanding of the "first camp". I can only use the omnipotent words written by the media teacher - let's wait and see!

Do you think the climax will be over here? No, there are also colored eggs behind it. That is, Remus suddenly brought out a new product that made musk cry when he saw it - Xiaomi full-size humanoid bionic robot cyberone.

Yes, this is the new product of Tesla, whose appearance and name are all touching porcelain. Its Chinese name is "Tieda", with a height of 177cm and a weight of 52kg. The biggest difference between it and the Tesla robot "Optimus Prime" is that it is more masculine than it.

It is reported that Tieda can sense 45 kinds of human semantic emotions and distinguish 85 kinds of environmental semantics; Equipped with Xiaomi self-developed whole body control algorithm, it can coordinate 21 joints; Equipped with MI sense visual space system, it can reconstruct the real world in three dimensions; The whole body is driven by 5 joints, and the peak torque is 300nm.

Lei Jun said that the intelligence and mechanical capabilities of Tieda were all developed by Xiaomi robot laboratory.

The robot that appeared on Tesla AI day last year was only a concept. The one on the scene was a real person. Now Lei Jun has directly created it for others. China's speed is not good.

However, neither the demo of Xiaomi's auto driving nor the imitation of Tesla's bionic robot shows much new ideas, and there is still a strong wind of "saluting the opponent".

Is this bowl of chicken soup made by Lei Jun for the purpose of telling a good story to the capital market?
