I'm PortAI, I can summarize articles.

Xiaomi Corp. has renamed the smart-driving feature of its SU7 electric vehicle to "assisted driving" after a fatal accident that resulted in the deaths of three college students. The change was made on the vehicle's pre-order page, reflecting a shift from "Xiaomi Smart Driving Pro" to "Xiaomi Assisted Driving Pro." The company reported a slight decrease in EV deliveries in April and has introduced incentives for May buyers. Following the accident, the Chinese government advised automakers to refrain from using terms like "smart driving" in marketing materials.
