Lei Jun, who serves as a deputy to the National People's Congress, expressed that true autonomous driving might be attainable in designated areas within the upcoming five years. However, achieving fully autonomous driving for regular private vehicles across every possible scenario will still demand considerable time. The advancement of intelligent driving technology necessitates cooperation throughout the entire industrial chain.

At present, all existing systems are merely auxiliary driving systems. Drivers are required to stay alert and be prepared to take over control when utilizing these systems. During the 2026 Two Sessions, Lei Jun put forward a proposal to collaboratively construct a traffic civilization system tailored for the era of intelligent vehicles. He firmly believes that fully autonomous driving can only become a reality with a comprehensive supporting system in place.

Moreover, Xiaomi has plans to invest a staggering 200 billion yuan over the next five years to address core technologies at the fundamental level. Lei Jun stressed that complete intelligent technology and powerful intelligent manufacturing capabilities are the indispensable cornerstones for the automotive industry in this new era.
