On May 18th, it was reported that why Apple failed to build a car in 10 years, while Xiaomi could succeed in 3 years, Lei Jun gave the answer in today's live broadcast.
Lei Jun said that Apple's failure to build a car for 10 years and Xiaomi's success in 3 years are more complicated, and it does not mean that Xiaomi is stronger than Apple.
When Xiaomi initially decided to enter the automotive industry, it planned to keep a low profile, retain respect for the automotive industry that has more than 100 years, and for car companies such as Porsche and BBA, and did not intend to "subvert" the automotive industry. Lei Jun said.
Lei Jun also emphasized in the live broadcast that Xiaomi Auto's intelligent driving technology adheres to full-stack self-development, including lidar and so on.
If the supplier's solution is adopted, then Xiaomi can reduce a lot of percent, but this will not be able to quickly iterate and upgrade the technology.
In Lei Jun's view, Xiaomi will go through 15 to 20 years of hard work to become one of the world's top five automakers, "striving for the comprehensive rise of China's auto industry".
Lei Jun said more than once that Xiaomi should start from the underlying core technology, invest tenfold, and make a good car. Its goal is to make a good mobile intelligent space that is good-looking, easy to drive, comfortable and safe.
