    In response to commenters; Xiaomi's software is as good as their mobile phones - which is comparable to Iphone or similar. There are many tests like this. American and European cars are behind, and more expensive.

    It's no surprise that European cars are the best and have been for centuries.

    It also makes sense they have the capital to make the best EVs and software, but they are also expensive.

    Chinese cars are cheap, but they are probably worth it if you do the pros and cons.

    European cars are expensive to buy, not affordable to maintain and depreciate fast. Toyota and Hyundai make the best cars in terms of reliability, maintenance and resale value but they are beat by the Chinese on price and features. Only time will tell if Chinese cars are as reliable and easy to maintain and therefore will retain their value overtime
