Details on the first Xiaomi electric vehicles. Sedan or SUV, price from 15 to 45 thousand dollars and a powerful air conditioner with air humidification function
Today, the head of Xiaomi, Lei Jun, revealed some details about the brand’s cars. It is clear that the project has just started, and the entire team is far from being formed, but Xiaomi already has some plans. Moreover, these plans are based on the desires of the users themselves.
Lei Zun today released the data of several polls conducted on the web earlier. One, for example, concerned the body. As it turned out, the version of the classic car (sedan or liftback) is in the lead here – 45% of the respondents spoke in favor of it. In second place, with a slight lag, is an SUV (40%). Of course, Xiaomi will still have an internal debate on this subject, but there is no doubt that these body types will be considered in the first place. Moreover, given the success of Tesla Model Y in China, the chances that the company’s first electric car will be a crossover are greater.
The second survey is about cost. And then two-thirds of the respondents for a price ranging from 100,000 to 150,000 yuan. That is, from 15,000 to 22,500 dollars. Probably, it is on such a price niche that you can focus. The maximum threshold is 300,000 yuan. That is, the Xiaomi electric car will certainly not be more expensive than $ 45,000. And although the company talks about the middle and top market segments, by today’s standards, such electric vehicles can be called affordable.
The third survey concerns the brand: Xiaomi asked users under which brand to bring their cars to the market. Here 12,000 people spoke in favor of the current brand, while the number of supporters of a perfect new brand is almost two times less – 6,897 people. What the final decision of the company will be, whether it wants to produce its cars under some new trademark is unclear, but one of the designers has already fantasized about this, and it turned out to be interesting.
Finally, Lei Zun said that the achievements of the home appliances division will be actively used in the auto company. So, for example, electric vehicles will receive powerful air conditioners with air humidification function.

Even before the launch of Dojo, the Tesla supercomputer has 7360 Nvidia A-100 graphics accelerators and is ranked seventh in the world
Tesla AI Infra & AI Platform manager Tim Zaman said the electric vehicle maker now has the world’s seventh largest supercomputer by number of GPUs. And this is before the launch of the Dojo supercomputer.
Tim Zaman confirmed that Tesla has upgraded its supercomputer to 7360 A100 (80 GB) GPUs. This makes the Tesla supercomputer one of the largest in the world in terms of the number of GPUs.
The A100 GPUs are made by Nvidia, where Zaman worked before joining Tesla. Each processor has 80 GB of graphics memory and has a bandwidth of 2 TB per second.
Tesla’s current supercomputer is the forerunner of the Dojo. Interestingly, Tesla noted last year that the company’s supercomputer, even before Dojo, was already the fifth most powerful in the world with the 5760 Nvidia A100. The company has since added about 1,600 GPUs to the system.
The Tesla Dojo supercomputer is developed in-house, so instead of the Nvidia A100, it will use a custom Tesla D1 chip that will be supported by FP32, BFP16, and CFP8. Dojo will be optimized for machine learning workloads, specifically Tesla Autopilot and Full Self Driving.

Rostec showed the latest sensors based on various physical principles for detecting infantry and ground vehicles
Rostec for the first time showed the intelligence and signaling complex for covert surveillance 1K144-E, which includes sensors based on various physical principles. They are able to detect infantry and ground vehicles of the enemy, remaining completely invisible.
The complex includes seismic, infrared and magnetometric sensors up to 20 cm in size and weighing 150-600 grams. They are buried in the ground, camouflaged on the ground and provide continuous operation from built-in batteries for up to 30 days.
The system captures moving objects, determines the direction of their movement, counts and classifies them by type: wheeled vehicles, tracked vehicles or manpower. The complex is able to detect an infantryman within a radius of 30 m, wheeled vehicles – up to 120 m, a tank or infantry fighting vehicle – up to 200 m. You can install such sensors in a matter of minutes.
The data is displayed on the operator’s monitor in the form of an electronic map of the area with indications of the location of sensors and detected objects. The system is already being produced by the Sozvezdie Concern (part of Roselectronics).
At the Army forum, for the first time, we present a full-scale sample of the export version of the 1K144-E (TAS3) complex. This is an advanced covert remote surveillance solution for assessing the situation at controlled borders. The complex uses sensors operating on various physical principles, which ensures the reliability of the transmitted data.

After the appearance of the first spy photos of the flagship crossover Chery Tiggo 9, renders were created to more accurately examine the expected new product.
The first information about Chery Tiggo 9 appeared last year, the car passes under the model number T26. It will get premium retractable door handles and a new design.
According to Chery’s internal documentation, the T26 will be built on the T2X platform, and its dimensions will only slightly exceed the Tiggo 8 Pro. The exact dimensions will be 4780 x 1920 x 1700 mm with a wheelbase of 2800 mm. Chery Tiggo 9 will be available in 5-, 6- and 7-seater versions. It will be equipped with 1.6- or 2-liter turbo engines, as well as a 7-speed “robot”. The drive can be front or full.
Chery is also preparing a crossover codenamed T26J, which will be a sports modification of the Tiggo 9 with a 5-seater saloon, a 2-liter engine and an 8-speed automatic transmission.
The front of the Chery Tiggo 9 will receive a frameless grille reminiscent of Omoda 5. The headlights are distinguished by LED running lights and a block of high and low beam located under them. Chery Tiggo 9 turn signals are represented by horizontal stripes that are located under the headlights. Fog lights and an adaptive cruise control radar can be seen at the bottom of the front bumper.
At the rear, Chery Tiggo 9 has a single block of lights. Stoplights and turn signals are located in the horizontal elements below them.
The renders were created by the same insider who first published images of Chery Arrizo 8, which ended up being very close to reality.
