Gasgoo Munich- Xiaomi Auto is taking its first global step in the toughest market possible: Germany in 2027. It is the pinnacle of global automotive technology—and the starting line for Xiaomi to earn trust abroad. Stringent regulations, unfamiliar customers, and no turning back. This "German exam" is the decisive battle for Xiaomi's transformation from a Chinese upstart to a global brand. The global hand has been revealed. At the recent Auto China 2026, Xiaomi founder, chairman, and CEO Lei Jun stood at the center of the company's booth with a clear message: Xiaomi Auto is going global. He publicly outlined plans for a European R&D center for the first time. Xiaomi has already begun preparations. It aims to blend the efficiency of "Made in China" with the heritage of "German engineering" to develop smart EVs tailored to European consumers. Image Source: Xiaomi Auto The initiative marks a strategic leap for Xiaomi Auto from a domestic Chinese automaker to a global smart EV brand. In reality, the groundwork for this expansion was laid long ago. In November 2025, Xiaomi Group President Lu Weibing traveled to Germany specifically to test drive the SU7. He publicly declared a "full-scale effort" for the 2027 European entry. That same year, Xiaomi recruited Dieter, Tesla's former senior manager for delivery operations in Central Europe, to build a talent pool for overseas business. These quiet maneuvers converged at the Beijing Auto Show into a clear roadmap: Germany in 2027. The timing of this offensive is no accident. Since deliveries of the SU7 began in April 2024, Xiaomi Auto has delivered more than 650,000 vehicles. Its lineup has expanded from the SU7 to the YU7, with the new YU7 GT set to debut in May. With domestic production capacity, supply chains, and the product matrix now fully validated,

VinFast Deepens Its EV Push in the Middle East Through Technology and Smart Mobility As Gulf markets accelerate toward smart and sustainable mobility, VinFast is expanding its EV presence in the Middle East with technology-focused products, connected vehicle capabilities, and long-term ownership solutions. DUBAI, UAE - Media OutReach Newswire - 8 May 2026 - The Middle East is increasingly emerging as one of the next major battlegrounds for global electric vehicle brands, particularly as younger consumers across Gulf countries show rising interest in smart, technology-focused mobility solutions that combine premium specifications with advanced software and digital experiences. That shift has opened the door for newer EV manufacturers to compete alongside more established automotive brands. The opportunity reflects larger market dynamics already transforming the region. Asian EV brands have rapidly expanded their footprint across Gulf countries in recent years, supported by growing demand for feature-rich vehicles, manufacturing scale advantages, and increasingly competitive pricing. Against that backdrop, VinFast is positioning itself as part of a broader transformation reshaping the automotive landscape across the region. As governments accelerate investments in renewable energy, charging infrastructure, and smart city development, the transition toward electric mobility is gaining momentum across the Gulf. For VinFast, the Middle East represents a strategic growth market within its wider international expansion plan. The company has been strengthening its presence with the VF 8 electric SUV, targeting consumers seeking a combination of advanced technology, premium features, and long-term ownership value. VinFast's broader strategy aligns closely with those changing consumer expectations.

AUDI, the premium electric brand under SAIC Audi, has started pre-sales for its AUDI E7X electric sport utility vehicle (SUV), heavily integrating local technologies to cater to consumers. The model, the second from the AUDI brand following the E5 Sportback, began pre-sales on Friday with a starting price of 289,800 yuan ($42,610). The AUDI E7X made its official debut at the 2026 Auto China in Beijing last month, serving as the brand's latest offensive in the world's largest electric vehicle (EV) market. Audi and SAIC jointly launched the AUDI brand in China on November 8, 2024, and its first model, the E5 Sportback, hit the market in September 2025. AUDI is a sister brand created specifically by Audi for the Chinese market, using the fully capitalized AUDI letters as its logo rather than the traditional four rings. The new brand strategy aims to attract a new generation of tech-savvy consumers in China who prefer German brands, with the E7X being a key component of the brand's first wave of product offensive. The AUDI E7X measures 5,049 mm in length, 1,997 mm in width, and 1,710 mm in height, with a wheelbase of 3,060 mm. The new SUV heavily integrates local Chinese tech, coming standard with a 109-kWh large-capacity battery from CATL and built on a 900-volt high-voltage platform.

On May 8, 2026, California Attorney General Rob Bonta, together with the District Attorneys of San Francisco, Los Angeles, Napa, and Sonoma Counties, and with support from CalPrivacy, announced a $12.75 million settlement with General Motors LLC and OnStar LLC (collectively “GM” to resolve alleged violations of the CCPA, the Unfair Competition Law, and the False Advertising Law. The settlement, subject to court approval, arises from GM's alleged collection and sale of driving and location data from hundreds of thousands of California consumers through its OnStar connected vehicle service to two data brokers without adequate notice or consent. You can read the complaint here and the proposed settlement here. Below are some key observations. 1. The Massive Penalty At $12.75 million, this is by far the largest CCPA penalty in California history, nearly five times the prior record set by the Disney settlement earlier this year. The penalty is also only part of the story. The settlement imposes substantial injunctive obligations on GM going forward, including restrictions on how it collects, uses, and shares connected vehicle data. Particularly notable is the contrast with the FTC, which in January 2026 finalized an order settling substantially similar allegations against GM with no monetary penalty. California is not standing still, and I don't see federal privacy preemption happening anytime soon. 2. The First True Connected Vehicle Case There have been prior CCPA actions involving automakers but those arose from alleged opt-out and website violations. This case is specifically about vehicle-generated data, including precise geolocation, hard braking, hard acceleration, speed threshold crossings, seat belt usage, late-night driving, and trip time and duration. If you manufacture, sell, service, or build software for connected vehicles, this case is directly applicable to you. 3. A Perfect Storm of Violations Even if you aren't in the connected vehicle

Slotkin: Allowing Chinese cars in U.S. poses economic, security risks U.S. Sen. Elissa Slotkin, D-Holly, warned American automakers would be at a severe disadvantage if Chinese cars were allowed to be sold in the domestic market. Speaking at a Detroit Regional Chamber event on Thursday, May 7, Slotkin touted legislation she recently introduced alongside U.S. Sen. Bernie Moreno, R-Ohio, that aims at banning Chinese automakers from entering the American market. Along with economic competitiveness, Slotkin said allowing cars from China into the U.S. would create security concerns, primarily around the data gathered by vehicles. "That is the exact detailed information an adversarial nation wants," Sloktin said at the event, which was livestreamed. When journalist and moderator Guy Gordon asked Slotkin why that's not a concern with other companies that collect data, including American automakers and social media websites, the first-term senator replied those companies are subject to American law and operating practices. "We've worked with these companies for decades and decades," she said. "That's not my concern." Slotkin and Moreno's bill, introduced April 29, would ban the importation, manufacture and sale of Chinese vehicles, as well as other connected equipment and software, in the U.S. The bill also would ban other adversarial nations from selling their cars and car equipment in the country, although the legislation is primarily targeted at China. The bill, and Slotkin's remarks Thursday, come as President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping are expected to meet in Beijing next week and discuss an ongoing trade dispute between the two nations. Chinese vehicles aren't directly banned in the U.S., but face steep tariffs designed to make the cars less attractive compared to other options. Two other members of Michigan's congressional delegation, U.S. Reps. John Moolenaar, R-Caledonia, and Debbie Dingell, D-Ann Arbor, said Thursday they plan to

General Motors will pay $12.75 million to settle a California consumer protection lawsuit that alleged the company illegally sold drivers’ behavior and location data, the state’s attorney general announced Friday. The settlement requires GM to stop selling driver data to consumer reporting agencies, including data brokers, for five years and to delete any driving data within 180 days except for limited internal uses. “We’re talking about data that not only shows how a person drove but also precisely where they drove, which could easily be used to paint a picture of their everyday habits and movements,” California Attorney General Rob Bonta said at a news conference announcing the largest Consumer Privacy Act penalty in the state’s history. Bonta alleges that from 2020 to 2024, GM illegally sold the names, contact information, geolocation data and driving behavior of hundreds of thousands of Californians without their knowledge or consent, violating a provision in the California Consumer Privacy Act that voters approved in 2020 to limit the use and disclosure of sensitive personal information collected about them. The act requires that businesses tell consumers about their privacy practices and allow consumers to opt out of their personal information being sold or shared. It also limits how sensitive personal information can be shared with third parties. The California Department of Justice alleges General Motors made approximately $20 million from selling drivers’ data. “This agreement addresses Smart Driver, a product we discontinued in 2024, and reinforces steps we’ve taken to strengthen our privacy practices," a GM spokesperson told Spectrum News in a statement. "Vehicle connectivity is central to a modern and safe driving experience, which is why we’re committed to being clear and transparent with our customers about our practices and the choices and control they have over their information.” California began investigating GM after

Bosch is rolling out its cloud-based road hazard service in BMW Group vehicles, with the service live since March 2026 across selected BMW iX1, iX2, iX3, X3 and Mini models. The supplier plans to extend the rollout gradually across additional BMW models over the next few years. Launched in June 2024 with a European OEM and extended to a major commercial vehicle maker six months later, the service is now in millions of vehicles in Europe and the US. It warns drivers of accidents, abandoned vehicles, hydroplaning risk, heavy snow and strong wind, with OEMs able to set warning sensitivity to their own specifications. The system rests on a smart-fusion concept combining anonymised real-time data from millions of connected vehicles with third-party weather and road operator inputs. An algorithm cross-references signals such as electronic stability program interventions and windscreen wiper activity to identify emerging risks. Bosch separately offers a cloud-based wrong-way driver warning, which can be bundled into the package or sold as a standalone feature, with partner smartphone apps downloaded more than 100 million times. In a statement, Markus Heyn, member of the board of management at Bosch and chairman of the Mobility business sector, said: “The road hazard service anticipates critical situations, making driving safer and easier. It predicts and informs drivers, whether they are in a car or a truck, of hazards on the route and helps them avoid critical situations.” Source: Bosch

- The Italian government stepped in to limit China’s control over Pirelli. - The Cyber Tyre tech includes sensors to enhance driving dynamics. - These new tires will be manufactured at Pirelli’s site in Rome, Georgia. Pirelli has been given the go-ahead to begin manufacturing its latest series of tires in the United States, with help from the Italian government. It’s an important development for the tire manufacturer and will help to offset some of the impacts of US tariffs. The company’s plant in Georgia will soon start manufacturing connected tires using Pirelli’s Cyber Tyre technology. These tires include sensors that can collect data and work in conjunction with a vehicle’s on-board electronics, including the ABS and stability control systems, to enhance driving dynamics and safety. Read: Pirelli’s Tires Already Have Sensors In The Rubber, Now They’re Adding AI Eyes Too For more than a year, there had been concerns that Pirelli Chinese company Sinochem holds a 34.1 percent stake in the tire giant. With the US government clamping down on Chinese technology, it seemed likely Pirelli would have to build these tires elsewhere. in the US because theItaly Saves The Day However, the Italian government stepped in, using its ‘golden powers’ rule established to protect companies that are of national strategic interest. Last month, Italy imposed several curbs on Sinochem, noting that none of the eight board members that Sinochem has previously appointed will be allowed to hold top corporate positions like chairman or chief executive. In addition, Sinochem has been instructed that it cannot exert any influence over the company, and noted that Pirelli doesn’t need to share sensitive information with the Chinese company. Pirelli’s plant in Georgia can currently produce up to 400,000 tires annually. The company did not say how many tires using its Cyber Tyre

That 15-company list of firms with a market capitalization north of $1 trillion spans familiar technology titans alongside companies that, at first glance, may appear to have little in common. After all, should one put executives from other trillion-dollar-club firms like Eli Lilly, Walmart, Berkshire Hathaway, Broadcom and the dominant hyperscalers of the AI era all around a dinner table, it might be hard to see how the conversation might steer toward a single commonality other than that of the unprecedented value global capital markets have concentrated at their feet. But beneath the surface, the world’s biggest firms are in fact linked by an emerging pattern. These companies are not merely large. They are not merely valuable. Rather, their scale and their value both stem from the fact that they occupy critical bottlenecks inside systems the rest of the economy cannot function without. The 21st century trillion-dollar corporation is not defined by a consumer brand success story or labeled fairly as a natural byproduct of globalization. Increasingly, crossing the $1 trillion market cap threshold is the economic reward for controlling an indispensable layer of infrastructure—be it supply, distribution, computation or trust—across what PYMNTS has for years termed the Connected Economy.
