For the steering wheel hands-off detection on the Xiaomi SU7, do I need to drive for a certain time and move the steering wheel?
All Xiaomi SU7 models come standard with a capacitive steering wheel. Based on the principle of capacitive sensing, it determines whether the driver's hands are on the steering wheel by detecting changes in the capacitive circuit formed between the driver and the sensing layer on the steering wheel. Therefore, as long as the driver holds the steering wheel, the hands-off detection requirement is met. Compared to torque-based steering wheels that require "moving the steering wheel after driving for a period," the capacitive steering wheel provides a better user experience, making the assisted driving process more natural and relaxed.
Additionally, it must be emphasized that assisted driving functions cannot completely replace the driver in controlling the vehicle. Drivers must remain fully attentive at all times while driving, keep their hands on the steering wheel, constantly monitor the road conditions around the vehicle, and be prepared to take over control of the vehicle at any moment.
