Former Tucson Future China CTO Wang Naiyan will join Xiaomi and report to Ye Hangjun, chairman of the Xiaomi Technical Committee and head of autonomous driving at Xiaomi. Tucson Future is a driverless truck brand. Wang Naiyan previously led Tucson's future R&D and management work in China, and was responsible for the development and implementation of L2 assisted driving and L4 autonomous driving solutions. Currently, smart driving ability has become one of the competitive focuses of various car companies. Xiaomi Chairman and CEO Lei Jun revealed a few days ago that it is expected that by the end of this month, the city NOA feature will be promoted to models such as the Xiaomi SU7 Pro and the Xiaomi SU7 Max. The first batch is expected to open 10 cities, and more cities will open by August this year. Lei Jun also denied that the smart driving program would cooperate with a third party. He said, “The annual cost of developing smart driving by Xiaomi is over 2 billion yuan.” (Sina Technology)
