Xiaomi has unveiled its first in-house chips dedicated to AI and self-driving.
The automaker currently relies on Nvidia for its hardware, though that could change as early as next year.
This makes Xiaomi the latest Chinese automaker to ditch U.S.-sourced chips in favor of self-produced silicon.
Xiaomi's next move in cars is happening somewhere you'll never see it: buried deep inside the dashboard, under a heatsink, doing the ungodly amount of math required advanced driver-assistance features.
On Monday, Xiaomi unveiled a family of in-house silicon, including the Xring D100 chip designed for "intelligent driving." This makes Xiaomi the latest EV maker investing in home-grown AI inference rather than relying on a market cornered by Nvidia.
