Xiaomi Auto has begun rolling out the HyperOS 1.16 OTA update to all SU7 Ultra and YU7 models. This update enhances multiple areas, including the intelligent cockpit, advanced driver assistance, voice interaction, map navigation, parking assistance, and vehicle control. A new **Voice-Controlled Driving (Beta)** feature enables lateral and longitudinal vehicle control via voice commands, supporting operations such as lane changes, speed adjustments, and following distance modifications. Additionally, a **Toll Gate Passage Assistant (Beta)** is introduced, allowing drivers to select between manual or ETC lanes and automatically stopping near toll booths in manual lanes—drivers must remain attentive throughout the process. Parking-related functions have been further refined: - Added memory for offset adjustments at the end of Spot-to-Spot Parking. - Introduced external voice commands for parking in/out. - Enhanced map integration now supports one-tap navigation directly to elevator lobbies or charging stations. - Improved obstacle recognition for vegetation, overhead pipes, and charging piles, with dynamic adjustment of offset direction during parking maneuvers. - Optimized close-range obstacle warnings, blind-spot speed control strategies, and complex scenario comprehension.
