Previously, Lei Jun, founder of Xiaomi Group, had revealed that the first engineering car of Xiaomi Auto had been launched on September 28, and that Xiaomi Auto’s next goal was to complete the construction of the car factory. But so far, although hundreds of days have passed since the high-profile announcement of its entry into the car-making industry, Xiaomi has not actually obtained the relevant car production qualification. This is certainly a problem for them that must be solved.

Relevant research institutions said they expect Xiaomi Auto to be qualified for car production between June 2023 and July 2023. At that time, Xiaomi’s car will be one step closer to mass production and listing. It is worth mentioning that the previously announced mass production of Xiaomi cars by Lei Jun is in 2024, which still has plenty of preparation time.
Although the production qualification of the car has not been obtained for the time being, the research and development work of the Xiaomi car should have been steadily progressing. Xiaomi has applied for hundreds of patents related to cars since Lei Jun announced that Xiaomi was building a car. For example, on October 17, Xiaomi Auto Technology Co. announced a patent for a car that can avoid hazards through sound.
