Xiaomi Auto VP Li Xiaoshuang Posts Video Recapping Pengcheng Seat Rail Mining Truck Challenge

KEY FACTS

  • In the video, Li Xiaoshuang reiterated that safety comes above all else.
  • At Xiaomi's Pengcheng technology launch event in July this year, Lei Jun said safety is the foundation and prerequisite, above all else.
  • Xiaomi Auto has publicly emphasized vehicle safety multiple times in recent years.

PHYSIX OBSERVATION

Using a visually striking test like a seat rail pulling a mining truck for publicity is essentially treating safety as a marketing hook. But repeatedly shouting slogans is not as good as publishing verifiable crash and durability data. For users, safety promises need to be fulfilled through third-party testing and real accident performance; otherwise, no matter how shocking the challenge, it is just a performance.
