What is EEA? Can you explain it in more detail?
EEA stands for Electrical/Electronic Architecture, which is responsible for signal transmission between various sensors, controllers, and actuators in the vehicle, serving as the foundation for the vehicle's intelligence.
The Xiaomi YU7 series is equipped with the new generation of Xiaomi EV Electrical/Electronic Architecture, adopting industry-leading four-in-one domain control modules, a 4nm cockpit SoC chip, and an assisted driving computing chip. This achieves ultra-high computing power, creating an advanced smart cockpit and assisted driving experience.
Different from the traditional automotive EEA that uses a distributed architecture with four major domain controllers, the Xiaomi YU7's electrical/electronic architecture highly integrates the VCCD vehicle domain controller, DCD cockpit domain controller, ADD assisted driving domain controller, and T-Box communication module into a central computing brain, forming a "four-in-one domain controller." This not only reduces volume and weight—the number of controllers decreased by 75%, occupied space reduced by 57%, part weight lowered from 6.85kg to 3.6kg, and part weight reduced by 47%—but also achieves full-link energy efficiency optimization. The entire EEA improves range by over 16km, with the Sentry Mode achieving a 40% reduction in power consumption and a range increase of over 5 kilometers.
For the smart cockpit, the Xiaomi YU7 is equipped with the third-generation Snapdragon® 8 Mobile Platform, using a 4nm process node. It brings outstanding performance and energy consumption results from the mobile computing field to vehicles for the first time, making the smart cockpit experience smoother, with faster boot-up, startup, and upgrades.
The assisted driving module also integrates the all-new NVIDIA DRIVE AGX™ 4nm automotive computing platform, featuring the Blackwell architecture for the first time. Total computing power has increased to an impressive 700 TOPS, better supporting the integration of large models into vehicles.
In summary, a higher degree of integration and more advanced EEA brings comprehensive improvements in performance, experience, and reliability to the Xiaomi YU7.
