Another Xiaomi car patent granted

Another patent has been granted in China, filed by Xiaomi last December. A patent is the driver assistance system of the Xiaomi car, including the unit controlling the vehicle drift control method.

“The method involves: when the vehicle is in a drift state, obtaining the vehicle's skid level and steering information, as well as the vehicle's current speed, to determine the target drift parameters. Include the target steering speed; according to the current vehicle speed. The actual turning speed and the target steering speed determine the amount of steering compensation. Determines the front axle torque, rear axle torque, and rear wheel braking torque of the vehicle based on the amount of steering compensation and steering information. In the drift control process, the steering compensation is controlled by the power steering motor according to the amount of steering compensation and the speed of the vehicle.” – Google translate

So you can drive a Xiaomi car, because the system will help you drift. I could have given the article a different title, like "Xiaomi car racse technology"... But let's get back to the seriousness dimension. The most important task of driver assistants is to prevent human error, since the vast majority of accidents are not the result of technical error.
