Xiaomi Rolls Out Major ADAS Update for SU7 EVs with 10 Million Real-World Driving Clips

Xiaomi is taking a major step forward in autonomous driving tech with a powerful new software update for its electric vehicles. The update, which enhances Xiaomi's Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS), is now rolling out to the Xiaomi SU7 Pro, SU7 Max, and SU7 Ultra, while the newly unveiled Xiaomi YU7 will come equipped with the upgraded system straight from the factory.

At the heart of this breakthrough is Xiaomi’s unique approach to AI learning, based on what it calls “Clips.” Unlike the short videos you’d find on social media, these Clips are 30 to 60-second snippets of real-world driving recorded using the vehicle’s full sensor suite—including cameras, LiDAR, and mmWave radar.

Each Clip captures a moment in time from real driving scenarios, forming the basis of an end-to-end learning model. Instead of relying on rigid, hand-coded rules, Xiaomi’s ADAS AI learns directly from millions of examples, similar to how a human would learn by watching an expert driver handle complex traffic situations.

Originally trained on 3 million Clips, the system has now been fed a massive 10 million Clip dataset. Xiaomi says this dramatic expansion has led to significant gains in real-world driving behavior:

57% smoother acceleration and braking, improving ride comfort and reducing motion sickness

67% better obstacle avoidance, especially around delivery trucks, tight corners, or narrow lanes

23% better performance at complex intersections, making city driving safer and more efficient

This leap in capability reflects Xiaomi's deep commitment to EV and autonomous tech. The company has already poured RMB 5.79 billion (~€691 million) into its automotive division and built a dedicated team of over 1,800 R&D experts. More than 400 test vehicles are continuously gathering real-world data, powering Xiaomi’s in-house MiMo large AI model through its own AI Lab.

With this update, Xiaomi is pushing the boundaries of what driver assistance can feel like—less robotic, more human.
