Overview

  • BYD’s God’s Eye system now navigates and parks vehicles unattended in ordinary lots without relying on pre-mapped infrastructure.
  • The company will cover any losses or repair costs from the self-parking feature, letting customers bypass insurance claims.
  • The multi-sensor architecture combines 12 cameras, millimeter-wave radars, ultrasonic sensors and optional lidars for centimeter-level precision.
  • Over one million China-market vehicles, from entry-level models to luxury offerings, have received the update via over-the-air deployment.
  • Mercedes-Benz’s Level 4 parking remains limited to Stuttgart Airport’s P6 garage and Tesla’s systems are still constrained to Level 2 autonomy with reported reliability issues.
