xiaomi EV is doing what Apple is too scared of doing.
It is open to everyone, but requires extensive conformance. So far, apple has only approved byd for uwb. Which should show you how difficult it is to pass apple’s validation on this and how closely byd must have worked with apple to be the only one to be approved to use it.
Again, only byd has access to uwb right now.
I mean you can look up other ev makers in China and see who else mention uwb support in their OTAs or product releases.
Oh absolutely, Apple is known to provide extra support to important clients.
That being said, I think it's likely that BYD is the only one with support not because of their relationship with Apple, but because they chose to have the "best" solution. UWB is supposed to be technically superior than BLE, but BLE is cheaper. Most automakers prefer the latter.
I can only tell you what I hear from those programs in China from people in automotive industry. Many automakers want uwb access, but only byd has gotten it so far. That should tell you something. Remember, byd is the biggest player. It was supposed to be the battery supplier for apple planned car. And it is a major apple supplier. There are many reasons why byd is prioritized ahead of others
It’s not limited to just apple. For Qualcomm, it specifically worked with byd to design cockpit chips for byd models. Those Chips are not available to others.
Big suppliers only do extra work for large automakers.

Looks like the people memeing about Xiaomi might have to eat their words soon…
Still funny though.
I think Xiaomi is going to disproportionately affect Model 3 sales compared to other Chinese models
A lot of Tesla buyers buy Tesla for the brand name because they don't want some "crap domestic brand".
Xiaomi has a pretty good reputation even amongst people like Western-leaning Shanghai liberals
