Thank you for your attention and criticism, Xiaomi has heard every word said, noted it, and will respond to everyone's questions with actions. Regarding some of the questions of the public, Xiaomi's response is as follows: Q: Rumors online say that after the Anhui accident, why did Xiaomi officials not contact the family members? A: After the collision, we immediately contacted the owner of the vehicle to find out that the driver was not the owner. At the same time, we called for emergency rescue of the occupants and called the police and 120 emergency services. On March 30th, our special team rushed to Tongling and actively cooperated with the investigation, evidence collection, and other work under the guidance of the police. On the evening of March 31st, we lawfully provided the police with the vehicle driving data and system operation information we had gathered. On March 31st, under the guidance of the police, we attempted to meet with the family members in the afternoon of April 1st. As of the time of this response, we are still waiting for the meeting notification. We will assist in post-accident matters and provide support and help under the permission and guidance of the police. Q: There are online rumors that the accident vehicle has been towed back to Beijing. A: This statement is false. After the accident, the police immediately began an investigation. As of now, we have not contacted the accident vehicle. Q: What were the road conditions and speed at the time of the accident? A: Due to road construction repairs, the section of the road was closed off from the carriageway to the opposite lane. Before the accident, the vehicle was in a NOA intelligent driving assistance mode, traveling at a speed of 116km/h, and upon detecting obstacles, it alerted and began to decelerate. Subsequently, the driver took control of the vehicle, continued to slow down and steer the vehicle, and then the vehicle collided with the cement pile on the median strip. Before the collision, the system confirmed the speed to be approximately 97km/h. Q: Why did the vehicle catch fire after the accident? A: After the accident, the local police promptly arrived at the scene and fully intervened in the investigation of the accident, which is still ongoing. Based on the current information we have, we can only confirm that the vehicle catching fire after the accident was not due to some online rumors of "self-ignition," but is speculated to be a serious damage to the entire vehicle system caused by the violent impact with the cement pile on the median strip. We have not yet had contact with the accident vehicle, so we are currently unable to conduct further in-depth analysis. Q: Could the doors of the vehicle be opened after the accident? A: We have not had contact with the accident vehicle, so we cannot analyze whether the doors could open at the time of the accident. Currently, there is no definitive conclusion as to whether the doors could be opened at the time of the accident. Q: Did active safety features such as AEB trigger during the accident? A: In this incident, after the NOA alerted with "Attention to obstacles," it initiated deceleration. Approximately 1 second later, the driver took control, and the NOA function exited. The Xiaomi SU7 standard version has forward collision avoidance assistance functions including Forward Collision Warning (FCW) and Emergency Braking (AEB) as two sub-functions, which target vehicles, pedestrians, and two-wheeled vehicles, with the AEB function working at speeds between 8-135km/h. This function is similar to the AEB function with the same configuration in the industry, and currently does not respond to obstacles such as traffic cones, water horses, stones, animals, etc.
