Xiaomi has launched its first EV. As well as a 800km range, and charging to 500km capacity in 15 minutes, it will share an AI voice-driven OS with the maker's smartphones. (www.techradar.com)

Powering the system is a Snapdragon 8295 in-car chip that allows for high levels of AI, dubbed Xiaomi HyperMind, as well as ultra-fast processing speeds

Xiaomi has a great track record with electronics, especially smartphones, so it will be interesting to see if they can bring some of that success to EVs. On paper this looks impressive. Xiaomi has been doing a lot of independent research into autonomous driving. This will launch with impressive abilities, but it's not at Level 4 driving yet.

I've been a fan of a lot of xiaomi products, but the software left me mostly unimpressed.

Probably not gonna buy this car, but I'm still curious how good the software in it is.
