Xiaomi's smart driving team has now surpassed 1,000 people, with plans to add an extra 500 by the end of the year, Xiaomi EV said.

Wang Naiyan, former China CTO of autonomous driving tech firm TuSimple, will join Xiaomi EV, according to local media.

Xiaomi EV plans to increase its daily production time from 8 hours to 16 hours starting in June, with monthly production capacity expected to rise to nearly 20,000 units, according to local media.

Xiaomi EV said it is working on increasing its production capacity to ensure it meets its 100,000-unit delivery target this year.
