Xiaomi Group (01810.HK) CEO Lei Jun told the World Intelligent Connected Vehicle
Conference in Beijing that Xiaomi has prioritized safety since day one of its
car project and that without safety other smart features are meaningless. He
said the "second half" of the intelligent connected vehicle race will be decided
by ecosystem strength rather than vehicle intelligence, and that China's
complete supply chain, active AI innovation environment and large single market
give firms an opportunity to integrate the smart ecosystem and pursue a
China-style innovation path.
