Xiaomi has already started working on their next homemade computer chip called XRING 02. The Chinese tech company filed the trademark papers just months after showing off their first chip back in May. Company insiders say this new processor will power phones and tablets just like the first one did. The big difference comes from plans to put the chip inside cars and other vehicles.

Digital Chat Station spilled the beans about Xiaomi's ambitious plans for their second chip. The tech giant wants to expand beyond mobile devices and enter the car market with their custom silicon. Testing a phone chip takes much less time than checking car safety systems. Vehicle processors control important functions like brakes and steering that can hurt people if something goes wrong.

Xiaomi faces serious challenges from American trade rules that block Chinese companies from buying advanced chip-making tools. These restrictions force the company to use older manufacturing methods that lag behind competitors like Apple and Samsung. The chip maker must rely on TSMC's second-generation 3nm process instead of cutting-edge technology. Car safety tests will take years to complete before any vehicle hits the road with XRING 02 chips inside.
