History
70mai was founded in 2016 with the objective of developing intelligent automotive products designed to enhance road safety and driving convenience. The company initially launched a Smart Rearview Mirror for the domestic Chinese market in 2017 before entering the international arena with its first global dash cam model in 2018.
A significant milestone in the company’s development was becoming an authorised technology partner within Xiaomi’s ecosystem. Although consumers frequently refer to 70mai as a “Xiaomi brand”, it is more accurately classified as an independent company that collaborates with Xiaomi, rather than a wholly owned subsidiary.
