Xiaomi is better at being the New Apple than Apple is. Apple should be selling micro transportation appliances that fit into a higher urbanized environment. Extremely small cars would be the largest thing I would rent.



> micro transportation appliances that fit into a higher urbanized environment

Xiaomi bought Segway (Ninebot) and released tons of e-bikes, e-scooters and even an electric gokart.


Why would they do so? People wants huge premium cars. Land Cruiser! Panamera! Not many are dreaming for a luxury Fiat 500.


Not everywhere is the US. Xiaomi doesn't appear to enter the US market. European sales of the smaller car would likely outweigh a Land Cruiser lookalike.


The electric Fiat 500 is super cool though.
