70Mai, Xiaomi’s leading smart car electronics chain known for promoting safe and smart driving with the help of its subsidiary, has released yet another car accessory but this time, it is not their typical dashcam rather they have launched a smart driving assistant.
Apart from this, another interesting daily use gadget launched by Xiaomi’s crowdfunding program is the reasonably priced MIJIA electric screwdriver.
Let’s see what both the devices feature:

It also comes with Gaode map, voice command interface, best route planning, road condition querying, etc. All these functions can be accessed via voice commands or the 70Mai application.

Interesting from house of Xiaomi. As Pakistan is in the phase digitalization in Auto, in telecoms, education, this is a welcome sign. I’m currently working with the EU for digitalization of transport in Pakistan and compliant to EU standards on safety, climate change, emissions, accident avoidance etc., Xiaomi could be a partner to be consider as we are doing a lot with the EU.
