JAKARTA - The accident involving the Xiaomi SU7 Max electric sedan occurred inside the Xiaomi delivery center in the Qiantang area, Hangzhou, on the afternoon of December 15. This event took place before the vehicle was delivered to the consumer and was still in a closed area, not on the public road.

Citing a Sohu report, the accident occurred when the vehicle was maneuvering backwards inside the delivery facility. A pedestrian was hit and immediately rushed to the hospital for medical treatment.

The local traffic police confirmed that the incident had entered the legal handling process and is currently under investigation. In the evening, an internal source at Xiaomi provided clarification to a number of media.

It is stated that the SU7 Max involved was not using the automatic driving feature or driving assistance system. The car is fully controlled manually by the driver, as reported by Carnewschina, Tuesday, December 16.

When passing backwards in a narrow lane, the driver mistakenly stepped on the gas pedal instead of the brake, so the vehicle suddenly accelerated and hit the pedestrian behind him. Eyewitness accounts at the scene said the car was initially moving backwards at a low speed before suddenly speeding up.

The left front wheel of the vehicle reportedly hit a pedestrian so that the victim fell to the ground. People around the location immediately provided first aid, including performing cardiopulmonary resuscitation, while waiting for the arrival of the emergency medical team.
