Safety is the greatest luxury of an electric vehicle. Intelligent driving is the strongest guardian of safe travel. The launch of the Eye of God allows BYD to build a comprehensive safety system. Active safety predicts, responds quickly, and stops precisely. This is one of the core abilities of the Eye of God. Take the AEB (Automatic Emergency Braking) function as an example. The Han Intelligent Driving version can detect and stop for a stationary vehicle at 100 km/h. In the future, it will gradually support AEB capabilities at speeds of 120-140 km/h, ensuring safe intelligent driving for users.
