Xiaomi YU7 GT set the first lap record at the Nurburgring without a driver

Xiaomi's autonomous YU7 GT electric SUV set a lap record at the Nürburgring circuit, completing the 20.8 km track with over 70 turns in 10 minutes and 29.483 seconds. This performance was achieved without a human driver, showcasing the capabilities of artificial intelligence in managing high-speed driving dynamics, weight transfer, tire grip, and braking decisions. The vehicle's maximum speed was electronically limited to 210 km/h during the run, which contributed to the slower time compared to professional drivers. For example, Ren Zhoucan previously set an electric SUV lap record of 7 minutes and 22.755 seconds. The YU7 GT features advanced hardware including a silicon carbide-based 897V power platform, a 101.7 kWh lithium-ion battery pack, and two V8S EVO electric motors producing 738 kW of power. It can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in 2.92 seconds and has a certified CLTC range of 705 km on a single charge.
