According to information from 36Kr, Xiaomi's automotive intelligent driving team has recently completed a new round of organizational restructuring, marking the acceleration of Xiaomi's intelligent driving business. The original secondary departments of "Perception" and "Planning and Control" have been merged into the "End-to-End Algorithms and Functions Department," responsible for the development of mass production solutions. This change signifies that Xiaomi's intelligent driving will shift from traditional modular development to an end-to-end large-scale model technical route.
The restructuring of Xiaomi's intelligent driving business and the change in technical route aim to capture users' minds and maintain high sales. With new cars constantly emerging in the market, there are many brands competing in urban intelligent driving. Xiaomi Cars aims to lead in this field, so this shortcoming in intelligent driving must be addressed.
Insiders revealed that Xiaomi Cars' goal is to deliver end-to-end intelligent driving by the end of the year. Additionally, the "Autonomous Driving" team, originally responsible for preliminary research, has become a key development department, simultaneously advancing the research and implementation of L3/L4 autonomous driving products. Xiaomi Cars' actions indicate that it is focusing on "end-to-end" and "autonomous driving," clarifying its development direction in the intelligent driving sector.
