Xiaomi recently launched the Xiaomi SU7, a competitor to the Tesla Model 3, but despite this direct rivalry, Xiaomi’s executives are supportive of Tesla’s innovations. In a recent post on Chinese social media, Xiaomi co-founder Lin Bin praised Tesla’s Full Self-Driving (FSD) system after experiencing FSD (Supervised) V12 in a test ride. Lin expressed his admiration for the advanced driver-assist suite, noting that it was completely based on pure visual modeling and did not require high-precision maps or LIDAR. He described the experience as very impressive and comparable to a human driver.
Following his test drive of FSD (Supervised) V12, Lin stated that he is looking forward to experiencing the technology in a more crowded area. He also mentioned that he welcomes Tesla’s FSD to enter China, as he believes that more good products and technologies need to enter the market to provide customers with better experiences and accelerate market development in a healthy direction. Lin emphasized the importance of supporting new quality productivity, such as Tesla’s FSD, Xpeng’s NGP, and other similar technologies, as representative of innovation in the automotive industry.
Other Tesla competitors, such as Xpeng CEO He Xiaopeng, have also expressed excitement about the rollout of FSD in China. He believes that products like Tesla’s FSD could help usher in the era of smart cars and contribute to the advancement of the automotive industry. Despite the positive feedback from executives like Lin and Xiaopeng, Tesla China has not yet announced a timetable for the introduction of FSD in the country. However, Elon Musk’s recent visit to China and a partnership between Tesla and internet giant Baidu for mapping and navigation data have sparked speculation that the advanced driver-assist system may soon be available in China.
In a statement released by Tesla China, it was mentioned that there is currently no timetable for FSD to enter China. However, Tesla has cleared data security and processing requirements in the country, as per the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers. With the increasing interest in advanced driver-assist systems like FSD, it is expected that Tesla will continue to work towards making its technology available in new markets around the world.
