The Xiaomi MS11 would therefore be a sedan, very similar to the Nio ET7. With some small inspirations of the Porsche Taycan and the Tesla Model 3. The roof will be completely glazed, with a small sporting style. At the top of the windshield is a LiDAR, similar to Nio vehicles. This component improves autonomous driving. In addition to cameras, this radar and these ultrasonic sensors allow a level 3 autonomous driving. This means that the driver does not need to use his hands and will not be responsible in the event of an accident. But some, like Elon Musk, don’t trust this technology and instead rely on cameras.
Xiaomi’s first electric car is expected to be on the market in 2024. Neither the design nor the name have been confirmed, changes are to be expected. No other elements have known for the moment.
