We talked a lot during this year about the Xiaomi auto, or the first electric car that Lei Jun's brand. In the last period it has been rumored about the possibility that the vehicle could integrate a autonomous driving module. That would really be a crazy thing considering that Elon Musk himself stated the difficulty in integrating this support. But on the other hand we are talking about Xiaomi, therefore it would not surprise some "special effect". In any case, although the car is not ready, there is already talk of different types of projects. Here is one.
Xiaomi auto: here is the patent that would confirm (among other things) the existence of the brand's car. Technology is about tires
According to what was revealed by the application Qicha, Xiaomi would have applied for a patent dedicated to the Xiaomi car. It's about a very particular technology that can be activated remotely and which would concern the tires of the car. The patent is called "Vehicles and their control methods, devices, terminals and storage media“, With the publication number CN113069774A.
As anticipated, the patent shows that the technology in question belongs to the field of remote control. Specifically we see (photo above) a terminal that generates temperature regulation instructions based on current environmental information e regulates the hardness of the tire by in turn regulating its temperature. In this way, different degrees of hardness of the tire of the Xiaomi car can adapt to different environments and reduce wear of the rubber itself.
