Does Xiaomi’s AES “Emergency Steering Assist” function work in manual driving or assisted driving mode
Q: Does Xiaomi’s AES “Emergency Steering Assist” function work in manual driving or assisted driving mode?
A: Xiaomi’s AES “Emergency Steering Assist” functions normally in both manual driving and assisted driving modes. After the Xiaomi HyperOS 1.11.0 winter OTA update, models equipped with “Xiaomi HAD Enhanced” have added the AES “Emergency Steering Assist” feature, enhancing the vehicle’s capability to handle extremely complex scenarios. Here are some important reminders:
After updating to Xiaomi HyperOS 1.11.0, the AES “Emergency Steering Assist” is turned off by default and needs to be manually activated in the vehicle’s system. Once set, the function will maintain its state (on or off) until you manually change it again, requiring no repeated operations.
When using assisted driving features, if a high-risk scenario requiring emergency evasion occurs and the AES is activated, the system will automatically disengage assisted driving. This is because such extreme situations exceed the capabilities of assisted driving and require necessary manual control by the driver.
It is important to note that the AES “Emergency Steering Assist” is an advanced safety feature for extreme scenarios. Xiaomi has implemented very strict design and validation for its activation conditions and action strategies. Xiaomi adheres to the safety principle of “Brake First, Steer Only if Necessary, Prioritizing Stability”:
If the system determines that forward collision avoidance assistance can sufficiently reduce speed and mitigate the collision, it will prioritize emergency braking.
Only when full braking would still result in a severe collision will the system employ an emergency steering strategy, if conditions permit.
Therefore, we seriously remind all owners and potential owners that assisted driving features are not omnipotent. Drivers must remain focused and constantly aware of road conditions.
