The company had pledged to invest **RMB 3.3 billion** within the [development](https://www.mindstick.com/articles/65309/importance-of-ux-design-in-the-development-of-mobile-apps) of the first **R&D phase** of its autonomous driving technology. ``` HIGHLIGHTS The company pledge to invest RMB 3.3 billion in development of first R&D phase Xiaomi had announced its entry into smart electric vehicle segment in March 2021 Initially, Xiaomi Pilot Technology functioned to build a fleet of 140 test vehicles ``` Xiaomi has employed over **500 specialists** from around the world for the R&D team of the first phase. The company had initially announced its entry into the smart [electric vehicle](https://www.mindstick.com/news/1799/audi-to-focus-on-electric-vehicles-and-discontinue-ice-vehicles-by-2033) segment in **March 2021**. At the time of revealing the **CEO** has released a live road test video of its autonomous driving technology. The test video portrayed the technology's safe and intelligent assisted driving approach in multiple scenarios along with **U-turns,** **roundabouts**, and **continuous downhill driving**. The Pilot Technology would come with advanced algorithms. It would be able to take care of variety of scenarios, as it has been added in its [comprehensive](https://www.mindstick.com/articles/23461/a-comprehensive-guide-on-luggage-bags-and-cases) list. The CEO has mentioned that '**Xiaomi's autonomous driving technology would adopt a self-developed full stack approach, and therefore the project has made progress beyond expectations**.' In order to focus on the long-term industrial strategic [capabilities](https://www.mindstick.com/interview/490/explain-the-concepts-and-capabilities-of-assembly-in-dot-net), [Xiaomi](https://www.mindstick.com/news/686/charge-your-smartphone-in-less-than-8-minutes-xiaomi) would invest another **RMB 2 billion**.
