Alerts were issued because the driver apparently wasn’t holding on to the steering wheel. Seconds after another warning was sent about obstacles in the road and the driver then retook control of the wheel, the car crashed into concrete fencing on the side of the road.<p>>According to the company’s marketing materials, Xiaomi’s Navigate on Autopilot function can change lanes, speed a car up or down, make turns or brake with minimal human input. However, the company advises drivers stay alert to traffic conditions and reminds them that “smart-driving” isn’t the same as “self-driving.”<p>>It’s illegal in China for drivers to take their hands off the steering wheel, even if advanced driver assistance is engaged.
