How does Xiaomi's car "front car recognition" function work?

The "Front Car Recognition" feature of Xiaomi cars is mainly based onHuawei self-developed multi-mode large modelUtilizing powerful image recognition capabilities, this feature identifies the make and model of vehicles ahead in real-time. During driving, simply activate the in-car voice assistant "Xiao Ai" and ask "What kind of car is driving in front?", to quickly receive the identification results. This functionality is built upon three core technological advantages:

Precise Identification and Intelligent CoverageThrough intelligent algorithms, precise locking of target vehicles, combined with multi-angle dynamic analysis, can adapt to different weather, light, and complex road conditions, covering full scene of highways, city roads, etc.

Data collection and trainingThe R&D team collects 50-100 photos of each vehicle model from key angles such as front, rear, and sides, covering various scenarios including day and night, near and far, to achieve identification of different models.

Technology Fusion and Optimization Our R&D team employs multi-modal data fusion and sensor fusion to pair and annotate image with semantic data, enhancing the model’s understanding of positioning. Currently, the "front vehicle recognition" feature of Xiaomi cars achieves an accuracy rate of 90% for ordinary car models and an accuracy rate exceeding 99% for Xiaomi's own car models.

This feature is now fully rolled out to all Xiaomi cars currently on sale and is accessible by activating "Xiao AI." It supports the identification of over 1,000 common vehicles, covering various models available in the Chinese market. You don't need to take any extra steps; simply use voice interaction to experience the feature, adding practicality and fun to the human-machine interaction.

Besides identifying vehicles, what else can the "Front Vehicle Recognition" function do?

Xiaomi's "Front Vehicle Recognition" feature goes beyond simply identifying vehicles; it can also answer questions about them. For example, you can wake Xiao Ai and ask about the target vehicle, such as "When did this car launch?" Xiao Ai will automatically jump to the annual new car timeline. If you ask, "Is this a gasoline car or an electric car?" it instantly transforms into an environmental assistant to provide the answer. And if you ask, "How much does it cost to buy?" Xiao Ai will kindly display the reference price available online.

In the future, Xiaomi will continue to develop the car recognition function based on its experience, constantly optimizing the algorithms, and leveraging big data and artificial intelligence technology to make recognition more precise and functions more diverse. At the same time, Xiaomi will also persist in exploring the application of multi-modal large models across various products, uncovering more interesting and fun functions to bring more surprises and interactivity to your driving life, look forward to it.

"The ultra power saving mode is so energy-efficient. Can I use this mode all the time?"

"Super Energy Saving Mode" is highly energy-efficient but significantly compromises the vehicle's comfort. Although you can turn it on or off at any time, for your driving experience, it is not recommended to use it continuously.

"Super energy-saving mode" refers to a vehicle's functionality that aims to increase driving range by reducing overall power consumption. This is achieved by disabling driver-assistance features, turning off or limiting air conditioning, seat heating, and other comfort functions, and restricting the vehicle's acceleration performance.

When the estimated mileage is below 50 km, a pop-up window with related settings will appear on the control screen along with an explanation. You can then choose to enable or disable the "Super Economy Mode" at this time; alternatively, you can manually enable or disable "Super Economy Mode" at any point during driving. To access the settings, open the control bar at the bottom of the dashboard, go to Driving Preferences > Super Economy Mode, and click to enable or disable the function. After activating "Super Economy Mode" through the pop-up window on the control screen, the vehicle will automatically exit the "Super Economy Mode" when it starts to charge.
