Xiaomi followed Tesla with only Cameras and Linux with Nvidia ORIN, but accident in 2025 realized that camera only solution with Linux OS(Tesla like approach) is not suitable for ADAS solutions so they turned to LiDAR and QNX powered NVIDIA AGX THOR on 2026 Xiaomi SU7models abandoning Orin chip
(Accident at least revealed Xiaomi is using Nvidia AGX THOR and being proud to be transparent to earn consumer confidence)
Tesla has no choice but to follow Xiaomi, but reputation and effect on Tesla stock is holding on. Clear indication that Nvidia chips IGX THOR is being promoted in SPCX so same technology or NVIDIA AGX THOR comes to Tesla? (Without analyst understanding?)
"It is worth noting that the ongoing 2026 model year Xiaomi SU7 comes standard with a LiDAR sensor and a single Nvidia AGX Thor chip for 700 TOPS"
"It is worth noting that the car that was involved in the accident is the 2024 model year entry-level trim with no LiDAR sensor on the roof. Its ADAS relies on 11 cameras, 12 ultrasonic sensors, one mm-wave radar, and an Nvidia chip with a peak computing power of 84 TOPS. More expensive variants of the 2024 model year SU7 offer an AT128 LiDAR and two Nvidia Orin-X chips for 508 TOPS.
