Concerns arise in China after Xiaomi self-driving vehicle involved in crash
Xiaomi has pledged to collaborate with authorities following a tragic accident involving the self-driving feature of its SU7 electric vehicle that resulted in three fatalities, raising concerns about the growing prevalence of autonomous systems in China. The company saw a 5.5% drop in its stock price after disclosing that the accident occurred while the car’s self-driving system was activated. Xiaomi has provided the police with driving data and operational details and expressed deep regret over the incident in Tongling, Anhui province. While the car was equipped with a driver assistance system that warned the driver to take control seconds before colliding with a barrier, Xiaomi did not mention plans to recall vehicles or update the self-driving software. The incident serves as a stark reminder that smart cars are not yet fully autonomous, emphasizing the importance of safety in autonomous driving technology.
