The committee, led by Hou Jinglei, aims to engage with car owners and experts to enhance vehicle safety. This initiative comes after a tragic incident where a Xiaomi SU7 sedan's doors malfunctioned post-collision, resulting in a fatality. Xiaomi has also faced calls to recall first-generation SU7s due to safety concerns. Despite these challenges, the company has a strong market presence, with a consensus rating of 'Strong Buy' for its stock. Chinese electric vehicle maker Xiaomi (XIACF) is setting up a new safety body following a spate of fatal accidents. ### Claim 50% Off TipRanks Premium - Unlock hedge fund-level data and powerful investing tools for smarter, sharper decisions - Stay ahead of the market with the latest news and analysis and maximize your portfolio's potential ## **New Safety Advisers Team** The group, which is proving a strong challenger to Elon Musk's Tesla (TSLA) in its domestic market, said it is creating a committee of advisers to assess the safety of its vehicles. Hou Jinglei, head of Xiaomi's EV safety department, said that it plans to hold regular meetings with car owners, media and experts to hear their suggestions about the safety of its vehicles. The first of these sessions will take place in the first half of this year. The car maker already has a safety team of over 3,000 people and an internal investigation centre to review accidents. It's been busy in recent months including a fatal crash in October involving a Xiaomi SU7 sedan. In that incident the car's doors became inoperable due to a power outage after a collision with another vehicle and the driver, according to forensic reports, was burned to death. An earlier crash involving an SU7 travelling in driving assistance mode and in which three people were killed remains under investigation. ## **Door Handle Hazards** According to *Reuters,* Chinese news provider *Yicai*, has urged Xiaomi to recall all first-generation SU7s to "completely eliminate door handle hazards." Xiaomi issued a software update for more than 115,000 SU7s over assisted driving issues in September. The company has discontinued production of the first-generation SU7 and is set to launch in April an upgraded version of its best-selling sedan with a backup power supply for the doors. Deliveries of the SU7, a rival to Tesla's Model 3, had exceeded 381,000 vehicles as of February. It is not the only EV maker to have issues with accidents. Last December, *Bloomberg* reported that as part of an investigation into the risk of electric door handles, it found at least 15 deaths in a dozen incidents over the last 10 years where the occupants or rescuers were unable to open the doors of a Tesla vehicle that had crashed and ignited. ## **Is XIACF a Good Stock to Buy Now?** On TipRanks, XIACF has a Strong Buy consensus based on 8 Buy and 2 Hold ratings. Its highest price target is $7.93. XIACF stock's consensus price target is $6.41, implying a 45.02% upside. ### Related Stocks - [515030.CN - Hua Xia CSI New Energy Vehicles ETF](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/515030.CN.md) - [516110.CN - Guotai CSI 800 Automobile and Parts ETF](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/516110.CN.md) - [516380.CN - Hwabao WP CSI Intelligent Electric Vehicle ETF](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/516380.CN.md) - [159565.CN - E Fund CSI Auto Components Thematic ETF](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/159565.CN.md) - [01810.HK - XIAOMI-W](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/01810.HK.md) ## Related News & Research | Title | Description | URL | |-------|-------------|-----| | 汽车巨头变身 AI 大厂？63 亿美元砸向 AI，建数据中心和机器人工厂 | 现代汽车宣布投资 63 亿美元在韩国建设 AI 数据中心（5 万块 GPU）、机器人工厂及绿氢设施，以加速自动驾驶与机器人技术研发。项目预计创造 7.1 万个岗位，推动韩国综指收复早盘 2.4% 跌幅。 | [Link](https://longbridge.com/en/news/277152045.md) | | 雷军：未来五年小米将重点攻坚芯片、AI、操作系统等底层核心技术 | 小米集团董事长兼 CEO 雷军在民营企业座谈会上表示，未来五年小米将重点攻坚芯片、AI、操作系统等底层核心技术。他强调，民营经济促进法的实施为企业提供了更好的营商环境，支持政策更加精准。雷军指出，民营企业应与国家发展战略同频共振，专注于创新 | [Link](https://longbridge.com/en/news/276701602.md) | | 中国技术 “反哺” 欧洲！斯特兰蒂斯拟首次在欧系车型中使用零跑电动技术 | 斯特兰蒂斯计划将零跑汽车的电池及动力技术引入其欧洲品牌，以削减高昂成本。若达成协议，这将是西方车企首次依赖中国底层技术支撑欧洲车型，标志中国技术 “反哺” 欧洲迈出关键一步。目前谈判尚处早期。 | [Link](https://longbridge.com/en/news/277053427.md) | | 冲上热搜！多品牌手机即将全面涨价：可能不止一轮，新品至少贵 1000！网友直呼换不起，有人打算只换电池 | 中国手机行业将于 2026 年 3 月全面涨价，预计新品价格上涨至少 1000 元，部分中高端机型涨幅可达 2000-3000 元。涨价原因主要是存储芯片成本上涨，市场研究机构预测新品手机均价将上涨 15%-25%。主流品牌如 OPPO、小 | [Link](https://longbridge.com/en/news/277150341.md) | | 电动汽车充电服务商对两个路标的 15 万英镑 “天价” 账单表示不满 | 一家领先的电动车充电服务提供商 InstaVolt 批评了安装两个路标的高昂费用，估计在 10 万到 15 万英镑之间，此前与国家高速公路局进行了九个月的谈判。该公司声称，缺乏适当的标识加剧了电动车驾驶者的 “续航焦虑”。InstaVolt | [Link](https://longbridge.com/en/news/277067781.md) | --- > **Disclaimer**: This article is for reference only and does not constitute any investment advice.
