China’s BYD claims assisted driving slashes severe crash rates to one-sixth of human levels

BYD says Level 2 assisted driving is now available across nearly all of its passenger car lineup.

The company claims its systems have far lower severe-crash and parking-scratch rates than human drivers.

BYD says it uses huge amounts of daily driving data to train software and refresh algorithms every few days.

The automaker plans further upgrades to its intelligent-driving features as competition in smart EV tech intensifies.
