JAKARTA – BYD revealed that its driving assistance system has now been used in more than 60 vehicle models with a total of nearly 3 million units. The Chinese manufacturer claims that the feature reduces the number of accidents.

BYD also claims that scratches and minor collisions during parking have dropped to about one-fiftieth compared to human drivers thanks to their parking assistance technology.

The statement comes ahead of BYD’s intelligent driving strategy agenda on May 28, which sparked industry speculation regarding the wider launch of the latest version of the God’s Eye system and the integration of the technology into more vehicles.
