Xiaomi is really making a big move into the automobile industry. The company set up a new facility in Beijing, which includes the R&D and sales headquarters, and is aiming to release its first car by 2024. The R&D team has been hard at work, as they’ve recently patented a new automatic driving method that matches the driver with a mode that meets their safe driving level. Here are the details.
As revealed by the abstract of the patent, it is related to automatic driving technology and proposes a method for automatically matching the driver with an appropriate driving mode that meets their safe driving level. The abstract highlights that the method starts by determining that the vehicle is in automatic driving mode and then collecting driver information during driving. Based on the collected driver information, the method determines the driver’s target safe driving level, which could depend on factors such as their driving habits, skills, and experience.
Once the target safe driving level has been determined, the method matches the driver with an automatic driving mode that meets their target safe driving level, and authorizes the operation authority of that mode. By doing so, the method aims to ensure the driver’s safety by providing them with an automatic driving mode that is appropriate for their driving abilities.
This is a promising development, especially as Xiaomi is set to begin mass production of its cars in the first half of next year. While it remains unclear whether the patent will be integrated into Xiaomi’s upcoming car models, it’s evident that the company is taking significant steps toward enhancing the safety and reliability of its vehicles.
