BYD’s Free Self-Driving Tech Might Not Be Such a Boon After All

Strictly speaking, God’s eye is the camera, the ultrasound radar and the Lidar array alone in A, B and C variants, with the best one. The system’s operating software is known as a dipilot, which was introduced at the BYD HAN in 2020 and now with the good, better and best stages of Dipilot 100, 300 and 600.

God’s eye a ship with Dipilot 600 and bristles with high-end cameras and radar as well as lidar sensors on site and sides. This best system will be adapted to BYDS luxury Yangwang EVS, including the U9 supercars. “The video of the U9 [on the track] Was theater, ”believes Rainford, who has not heard of an autonomous driving system that“ let the tires of a car squeak around corners ”.

Rainford adds that BYD is playing: “2024 was a breakout year for autonomous driving systems at urban level in China, with the leaders from Li Auto, Xpeng, Nio and Huawei, together with rivals such as Zeekr, Wey, Wey, Wey, . And even more affordable brands like leak engine. “

God’s eye B has cameras, radar and a lidar unit who is married to Dipilot 300 and is attached to Denza, Song and BYDS other high-end cars. Both A and B-Gottes eye systems offer L2+ Adas in the FSD style.

God’s eye C with Dipilot 100 has cameras and radar, but not a lidar that could be comparable to the veneration of a “God with my right to look”, Peter Norton, Associate Professor of History in the Department of Engineering and Society at the University of Virginia, told WIRED WIRED.

“Like Teslas FSD, the drivers with God’s eye C should not turn away from shared motorways. But probably some BYD drivers, like some Tesla drivers, will sometimes use it on normal roads -sometimes with potentially fatal consequences, ”says Norton, author of A Book a book about autonomous driving. He fears that BYD’s use of divine terminology could lead to an incorrect feeling of security. “There is no attempt to warn the drivers of the system’s restrictions,” he emphasizes.

Rainford also warns that God’s eye is not yet perfect. “It has been widely checked,” he says, pointing to the shining press reporting over the start of last week. “I drove Dipilot 100 with the BYD song L last year, and it was anything but great and required lever-activated overhaul. Even on the highway it wasn’t even near the [LDAS] Market leader in China. “

Although it is so Not yet allowed in ChinaTeslas FSD is considered technically inferior by some, since it is based exclusively on cameras and AI instead of lidar and other sensors.

“Tesla has been the effectiveness of its technology for years”, Michael Brooks, managing director of the non -profit center for auto security, told NPR last month. “And many people buy on it. Somehow they are included in this conviction that this is an autonomous vehicle because it is tweeted. “

Musk has promised the upcoming arrival of completely autonomous cars since at least 2016. Tesla shareholder meeting last yearMusk claimed that the number of miles that FSD could drive without human intervention. “It is very quick to drive unattended complete self -driving at an exponential pace,” said Musk.
