Xiaomi introduces a new patent for the lighting system of vehicle chassis

The publication of a new invention patent will involve Xiaomi Automobile Technology Co., Ltd. with the title: “Vehicle Chassis Lighting System, Its Control Method, and Vehicle”. As it were, this fresh technology is about innovating in the field of vehicle lighting using a design with a light strip hidden, protecting lights from possible damage when operating the said vehicle.

Key Features of the Patent

This patent points to the increasing demand in delivering personalized car lighting-owners requesting more than just dynamic light effects on their cars such as headlights and taillights. Ambient lighting fixed to the vehicle chassis is the focus of this new system and therefore exposed to scratches and minor damage during driving. In this regard, the patent of Xiaomi describes a vehicle chassis lighting system, wherein the light strip is partially installed within a receiving groove on the chassis trim panel. This also creates a new positioning that reduces scratching or damaging to the light strip during usages, thus improving its durability and life span.

How It Works

There is a receiving groove on the chassis trim panel where the light strip will be installed, while partially interposing on the light strip from external exposure. A control device is placed in conjunction with the light strip to collect command information, either vehicle status or external terminal control information.

According to such input data, the working parameters of the light strip are changed by the control device to make possible various lighting effects based on the different driving situations. This system will add more customer experience by offering a more personalized light setting and without damaging the strip during operation. It can also offer different atmospheric effects to the request of the user or according to the condition of the vehicle.

Innovative Vehicle Lighting

Xiaomi’s Commitment: Early this year, Xiaomi officially launched the Xiaomi SU7 smart chassis atmosphere light, priced at 999 yuan. Installation services are provided free of charge until December 24, 2024. The supported features of SU7 include:

Six-color mode, and two lighting modes.
Delayed lighting when exiting the vehicle.
Integration with charging systems,
IP67 dust and water resistance, ensuring durability, – Subsequent OTA upgrades for software improvements.

With the hidden light strips, this new patent of Xiaomi protects the system against destruction and further makes it look nicer and more advanced to drive. The new function allows customization of lighting, smart control, and OTA upgrade functions, underlining that Xiaomi is continuing to push into the automotive lighting space without sacrificing either form or function for its users. This innovative design is a broader performance by Xiaomi in integrating smart technologies into a vehicle, marking its venture into the automotive industry with high-tech solutions to improve safety, performance, and user experience for cars.
