Since Lei Jun announced to build the car, Xiaomi has been favored by the outside world, and the Xiaomi factory has begun to be built in Yizhuang, Beijing, and is expected to be completed next year. At the same time, Xiaomi Automobile will obtain the vehicle manufacturing qualification next year, and the first mass production vehicle is expected to be officially mass produced in 2024.

From the outside world's point of view, Xiaomi Automobile, which is not short of money, is progressing very smoothly. However, Xiaomi Automobile seems to have encountered difficulties.

Recently, media reported that insiders close to Xiaomi said, "Xiaomi's autopilot business is undergoing personnel adjustment, and the original full stack self research may be temporarily turned into a supplier scheme." We also tried to contact Xiaomi's official staff for confirmation, but there was no response.

Then why did Xiaomi's auto driving business change from full stack self research to temporary procurement?

The reason may be that Xiaomi's automatic driving test is not effective, and for the mass production plan in 2024, it would be wiser to choose a ready supplier. In addition, the automatic driving test video released by Xiaomi at the beginning of August was also questioned for its obvious editing traces, which did not show Xiaomi's current automatic driving ability.

However, in the video of "Xiaomi Automatic Driving Technology Interpretation Edition", I think that Xiaomi's automatic driving test video performs well on and off ramps and unprotected left turns, and it is worthy of recognition that it has achieved such results in a relatively short period of time.

In a well-known recruitment website, Xiaomi Automobile is still recruiting talents related to automatic driving, and Xiaomi's first factory trial production vehicle has also been off the line. What is the credibility of the online rumor that Xiaomi was frustrated in making cars? What's your opinion?
