On June 18, Xiaomi published a new patent for “vehicle function control method, vehicle function control device and storage medium.” The publication number is CN112995948A.

The patent summary shows that it is related to a vehicle function control method, a vehicle function control device, and a storage medium. The current disclosure reveals that when the sensorless control function is provided, the power consumption of the vehicle and the terminal is reduced. The hardware cost is reduced as well.

Adding to this, a few days ago, there was news that car building was “accelerating”, preparing for self-developed chips. Also, we learned that the company has begun recruiting chip IC design and autonomous driving algorithm engineers.

Earlier, Xiaomi Group President and CEO Lei Jun said that according to users, Xiaomi’s first car will be either a sedan or an SUV, and the price range is expected to be between 100,000 to 300,000 yuan ($15,000 – $45,000).

Lei Jun also said that Xiaomi’s newly designed round logo is more suitable for the car brand when compared to the old square one. But it does not mean that they will use this logo on the Xiaomi car as the design of the logo is determined before the announcement of the car plan.
