CTOnews.com, November 28 (Xinhua) according to a recent report from the power plant, Xiaomi's development project is not progressing as expected, which may eventually lead to a decline in product competitiveness. The report also said that at least two Xiaomi insiders confirmed the news.

According to the plan, Xiaomi's first product is expected to be released and officially mass produced in the first half of 2024. On September 28, Xiaomi's first engineering vehicle went off the line. Wang Xiang, president of Xiaomi Group, made this clear again at the third-quarter results meeting on November 23, claiming that "Xiaomi is progressing very smoothly in achieving its official production target of 2024."

According to the power plant, a high-level Xiaomi employee said that on the face of it, it seems to be progressing smoothly, but the actual progress is much slower. It is mainly the problem of internal process, such as the corresponding output and delivery on the project node, but in the process of advancing, some of the things to be delivered in the definition are delayed due to various factors. In this case, some of the functions and products that should have been delivered will be cut off. "there is not much content that should be delivered, and now it will be cut off because of the card points of delivery, and it will be even less." He said.

Xiaomi's self-driving ability is another key to the questioning of the car-building process. According to the power plant, due to the poor results of the previous self-driving test, many employees lack confidence in Xiaomi's first product. "in the released self-driving test video, we rarely see a mirror to the end, and many of them are edited and spliced, which is also a true reflection of the progress of research and development." Said an employee from the R & D system. At the same time, some of Xiaomi's well-paid employees, most of whom belong to the Shanghai team, have also chosen to leave recently, which is home to business units such as Xiaomi's entire vehicle, three power systems and chassis.

In his annual speech in August this year, Lei Jun revealed that Xiaomi, which has formed a team of 500 people, plans to expand to 600 by the end of this year, with the goal of entering the first camp of the self-driving industry by 2024.

According to Xiaomi Group's financial results for the third quarter of 2022, Xiaomi invested 829 million yuan in innovative businesses, including cars, and Xiaomi has a R & D team of more than 1800 people.

It is worth mentioning that in early November, there were also rumors that Xiaomi's car-building had been stopped. At that time, Xiaomi people said at that time that the Xiaomi car project was progressing smoothly without responding to the rumors. Xiaomi has not responded to the report on the power plant as of press time.
