    From FT comments section:

    Marketing from BYD “luxury features at bargain prices”

    Marketing from Tesla “Hitler wasn’t all bad”

      The Nazis could at least organize stuff but Hitler was vain, arrogant, and dismissive of intelligence in others.

      That description reminds me of someone.

    God’s eye? Why not Jesus’ wheel? We could just say “Jesus, take the wheel!” And the car would engage the self driving mode.

    Tesla full self driving is a $8,000 option, and BYD aim to sell a whole car for that?

    They really have rested on their laurels, haven’t they?

      FSD isn’t even real, too, so if BYD’s is, they already won even without the price tag difference.

        It’s not self driving in the sense that the car needs no driver input, but it seems to be as good or better as any other enhanced cruise control system.

            Essentially it’s just cruise control + collision avoidance (although the collision avoidance bit doesn’t really work) + lane control.

            If the lane goes around the corner then the car will go around the corner without human input but it won’t turn off the road to follow navigational directions. FSD is about 80% of the way there, but the final 20% is really the bit that matters and is also the hardest.

            A better acronym would be SAD = Slightly Automated Driving

    Isn’t that the name of the global surveillance system in one of the Mission Impossible movies? It’s like they’re not even trying to hide it…

      You’re thinking Fast and Furious 7 “Fate of the Furious”

    Great. Soon the CCP will watch us every time one of their cars passes by. I couldn’t think of a way how this could be problematic given they run illegal police stations across the globe to procecute dissidents and hold control over their population abroad.
