Xiaomi Automobile Technology published a patent for a collision-risk detection method, device and related products aimed at intelligent driving. The system acquires obstacle data, the vehicle’s planned path and a target area; when overlap between obstacles and the planned route is detected, it performs intrusion checks based on the target area and only triggers avoidance strategies if a real intrusion is confirmed. Xiaomi says this reduces false positive avoidance activations caused by perception errors and improves driver experience. The patent targets more reliable obstacle-confirmation logic in autonomous/assisted driving stacks, which matters for safety, user trust, and commercialization of Xiaomi’s EV platform.
