The Xiaomi SU7 EV was unveiled last week in China and is already available on display in select Xiaomi stores. The new Xiaomi EV comes with an array of impressive features including self-driving capabilities. A video of the SU7 parking by itself in a multi-level garage has surfaced. The SU7 is equipped with advanced Lidar, radar, and cameras for its self-driving features.
The EV revolution is in full swing in China with various new models entering the market every week. The new Xiaomi SU7 is unique as it does not come from an automotive company but from a tech brand. Xiaomi announced its EV manufacturing plans in 2021 and aims to be among the top five EV manufacturers in 15 to 20 years.
The self-parking video is part of the promotional materials released by Xiaomi after the launch of the SU7. It shows the SU7 parking autonomously in a multi-level parking garage at a location in China. The video shows the driver of the SU7 driving to the entrance of the garage and then tapping a button on the car’s infotainment screen. The driver then hopped out of the car and the car then moved autonomously into the parking garage, driving up the different levels.
The smart movement of the car is underscored by its being able to maneuver past a parked Audi A7. The car continued the movement until it reached the top level of the parking garage. It then found a parking space and reversed into it.
There are still some missing optics from the self-parking video of the Xiaomi SU7. It is unclear whether the SU7 relied solely on its onboard navigation system for parking or whether the parking area was already specially equipped to accommodate such activities. It would be an indeed impressive feat if the Xiaomi SU7 relied solely on its sensors and software for navigating through the parking lot.
The SU7 is confirmed to come with hands-off freeway driving functionality and auto-parking. Self-driving on city streets is also a possibility for the Xiaomi SU7 via an update of the software stack. Xiaomi will continue to deliver snippets of the SU7 ahead of its entry into the Chinese market later this year. Meanwhile, check out our preview video of the Xiaomi SU7 below.
