Is Xiaomi EV really going to launch a model with suicide doors?
Xiaomi EV insists on starting from core underlying technologies, investing ten times more, and earnestly building a good car. Therefore, you will see many patent applications related to Xiaomi EV, including the suicide door design, which is also one of Xiaomi EV's pre-research technology reserves. Technology reserves do not necessarily mean they will be mass-produced. Please refer to official announcements for accurate information.
Automotive R&D cycles are long, and new technology applications require advance layout. At the Xiaomi EV Technology Conference at the end of 2023, we first shared our progress in battery packs, electric drives, large-scale die-casting, intelligent driving, and intelligent cockpits, which included many technologies or functions that are already mass-produced, being mass-produced, or in pre-research.
On World Intellectual Property Day in 2024, we announced Xiaomi's technological innovation and intellectual property achievements: By the end of 2023, Xiaomi's global authorized patents had exceeded 37,000, with another 30,000 applications pending review.
