Electric cars could soon be the new smartphones.
Electric car owners sue electric car manufacturers: "Electric cars have made our lives hell!"
Chinese gadget maker Xiaomi recently announced plans to launch its first electric car in the first half of 2024. It’s part of a growing interest in translating personal electronics into the booming electric vehicle (EV) market, a move that could result in cars that look more like smartphones.
“The mobile-first revolution, which today has more than 6 billion smartphone users, has led consumers to expect and demand mobile-first designs and experiences in every aspect of their lives,” Nakul Duggal, an automotive expert at semiconductor and wireless company Qualcomm, told Lifewire in an email interview. “This means app-driven, intuitive interfaces, always-on devices, with global connectivity.”
Lei Jun, founder and CEO of Xiaomi, said the company plans to launch a new car in each of the next three years after launching its first electric car.
