Fatal Xiaomi SU7 EV crash claims three lives: Smart driving system credibility questioned
Xiaomi's SU7 electric vehicle was recently in an accident on a Chinese expressway, resulting in the loss of three lives. The incident has raised concerns about the use of smart driving technology in advanced vehicles. Local authorities are investigating the crash that occurred in Anhui province on March 29, 2025. Xiaomi confirmed the involvement of its EV but did not disclose specific details about the accident, injuries, or casualties. Initial reports suggest that the vehicle's driver assistance system was active for less than 20 minutes before the crash, with warnings issued to alert the driver to hold the steering wheel. The vehicle caught fire post-crash and was consumed by flames. The incident highlights the importance of drivers maintaining control and staying vigilant while utilizing advanced driving assistance technology. Similar concerns have been raised with Tesla's Full Self-Driving system, which is under investigation in the US following a series of accidents, including a fatal one. Xiaomi, primarily known for its smartphones, has seen rapid growth in the EV market, recently increasing its 2025 sales target to 350,000 units.
