Thank you, Mr. Air, a netizen of CTOnews.com, for your clue delivery! According to CTOnews.com8 news, at Lei Jun's annual speech on August 11 this year, Xiaomi released a live video of the road test of its self-driving technology, and said that Xiaomi's self-driving technology has entered the testing stage.

Today, Xiaomi has made new progress in building cars. Xiaomi is in talks with BAIC to co-produce electric vehicles due to delays in obtaining a license to produce cars independently, according to people familiar with the matter. At present, the two sides are exploring ways of cooperation, including Xiaomi's direct purchase of the second Hyundai factory in Beijing, which has a car production license.

Although Beijing Hyundai's second plant is relatively old and needs a major upgrade to produce electric cars, BAIC Langu, owned by BAIC, may work with Xiaomi and produce Xiaomi cars, the report said.

According to 21 Finance report, BAIC Blue Valley Investor Relations Department responded that: we have not received the relevant exact news. According to the Daily Business News, BAIC said: "I have not heard of it."

Lei Jun clicked a button on his mobile phone to summon Xiaomi self-driving cars, and the millet self-driving cars in the parking lot drove automatically from the B2 basement to the first floor exit.

CTOnews.com learned that in Leijun's new book, Xiaomi Entrepreneurship thinking, Lei Jun said that for Xiaomi, building cars is the trend of the times and there is no choice. At the same time, Lei Jun hopes to make a good car that can compete with all the products of the same class at present, and then consider the part of subversion.

BAIC Group was founded in 1958, with well-known enterprises and R & D institutions such as Beijing Automobile, Changhe Automobile, BAIC New Energy, Beijing Hyundai, Beijing Mercedes-Benz and so on. In terms of products, BAIC Blue Valley's new HI version of Polar Fox Alpha S went on sale on May 7 this year. The car is equipped with Hongmeng OS and is priced from 397900 yuan.
