Title: BYD Pledges to Cover Damages from Self-Parking Car Crashes

BYD has unveiled fully autonomous Level 4 self-parking across its vehicle
lineup, powered by its advanced multi-sensor "God's Eye" system that's used
by more than 1 million cars across China. "The company is so confident in the
technology that it announced that it will cover any damages to your car or
any other vehicle if things go wrong," adds Fast Company. "This means if
anything happens, the owner won't have to file a claim and have their
premiums go up." From the report: BYD's confidence stems from a sophisticated
sensor architecture. The God's Eye system deploys multiple sensing
technologies working in concert, unlike Tesla's problematic camera-only
approach. Even the entry-level God's Eye C variant -- one of three autonomous
driving levels included in most affordable models -- includes 12 cameras, 5
millimeter-wave radars, and 12 ultrasonic sensors with 1-centimeter accuracy.
The mid-tier God's Eye B adds a lidar sensor, while the premium God's Eye A
variant features three lidar sensors for maximum precision. The system's
parking accuracy allows the car to get within 0.8 inches of other objects,
enabled by multiple redundant sensors that create a three-dimensional map.
This allows the vehicle a deep understanding of its environment. This multi-
sensor approach allows the system to detect obstacles. It can even recognize
hanging objects over the roof line of the car. The company reports that more
than 1 million vehicles now carry the God's Eye system, an impressive
deployment scale that starts with the most inexpensive models, like the
$9,550 BYD Seagull, and go all the way to the $236,000 BYD Yangwang U9, a
hypercar that can detect potholes on the road and jump over them. Yes. If the
God's Eye detects an obstacle on the road, it will literally jump over it.
