Xiaomi plans to position itself as a leader in automated driving systems. Hesai Technology, a leading maker of 3D lidar sensors, announced a $300 million round of investment led by Xiaomi in June. Geometrical-Pal, a Shanghai-based start-up that focuses on integrated systems for automated driving, confirmed a $63 million financing round led by Xiaomi in July. Xiaomi also has invested $190 million in ZongMu Technology, a supplier of automated driving assistant systems for valet parking already offered on Chinese state-owned automaker FAW's Hongqi brand models. It also acquired Chinese automated driving technology company DeepMotion for $77 million earlier this year.
