Additionally, the “Eye of the Sky C” system is set to receive a major upgrade, with an OTA update expected in December of this year. Since the launch of the Smart Parking Safety Guarantee last July, the usage rate of the “Eye of the Sky” Smart Parking feature has risen from an initial 21% to 93% today, with the accident rate for Smart Parking remaining virtually zero. Based on our confidence in the “Eye of the Sky” technology and our commitment to consumer responsibility, BYD is once again taking the lead in offering a safety guarantee for City Pilot: effective immediately and for one year, new users of “Eye of the Sky A” and “Eye of the Sky B” will be eligible for a one-year City Pilot safety guarantee starting from the date of vehicle pickup, while existing owners will be eligible after upgrading to “Eye of the Sky 5.0” via OTA. When users operate the City Pilot feature in compliance with regulations, if a traffic accident occurs for which they are at fault, the direct economic losses that the vehicle is liable for (including vehicle repair costs, third-party property damage, and personal injury damages) will be covered directly by BYD. Compared to common industry-standard intelligent driving insurance, BYD’s City Pilot coverage is entirely free, has no upper limit, and will not affect commercial insurance premiums in the following year. With this, BYD has become the world’s first automaker to offer “dual coverage” for both City Pilot and Intelligent Parking safety, taking concrete action to truly integrate driver assistance into users’ daily commutes and lives, delivering a safe driving experience. BYD’s confidence in offering this guarantee stems from the three unique strengths of the “Eye of the Sky” system: First is scale—BYD has over 3.15 million vehicles equipped with driver-assistance systems, the highest among Chinese automakers; second is data—the “Eye of the Sky” generates over 200 million kilometers of data daily, the highest among Chinese automakers; and finally, R&D—the driver-assistance R&D team comprises over 5,000 engineers, the largest such team among Chinese automakers. Developing China’s First 4nm Intelligent Driving Chip: BYD Paves the Way for Advanced Autonomous Driving The first half of electrification focused on batteries; the second half of intelligent driving focuses on chips. At this press conference, BYD unveiled China’s first 4nm intelligent driving chip—the Xuanji A3—which has already entered mass production. Supporting Level 3 and Level 4 autonomous driving, the chip achieves a total computing power of over 2,100 TOPS through the efficient coordination of three chips, while balancing power consumption control and computing power utilization. As China’s first independently developed 4nm intelligent driving chip, it represents a new benchmark for the country’s intelligent driving chip technology: automotive-grade 4nm not only features the most advanced and industry-leading manufacturing process but also boasts the lowest power consumption per unit of computing power—20% lower than comparable products. When combined with BYD’s proprietary algorithms, the Xuanji A3 enables deep optimization, boosting computing power utilization by 100%. This results in faster reactions for driver assistance systems, enhanced capabilities for handling complex situations, and a higher safety ceiling. BYD continues to change the world through technology. In the first half of the electrification era, BYD overcame the global challenges of “slow charging” and “difficulty charging in low temperatures” with its second-generation Blade Battery and Flash Charge technology; in the second half of the intelligent era, BYD is committed to achieving the goal of “zero traffic accidents”: it will use “God’s Eye” to continuously push the boundaries of advanced driver-assistance capabilities, provide users with confidence in using these systems through its safety net, lay the groundwork for future smart vehicle experiences with high-performance intelligent driving chips, and safeguard the driving safety of every user with its proven capabilities.

Drive on Three Wheels, The Fangchengbao Bao 8 Yunnian-P Ultra Experience

Leave a Comment / BYD, Manufacturing / Production, User Experience / Auto Home

To be honest, there are still many shortcomings when it comes to electrifying off-road vehicles. Batteries are vulnerable to impact, charging is inconvenient, and there are concerns about whether the suspension can withstand continuous shocks—these are all major pain points. However, after experiencing the “Yun Nian-P Ultra” version of the Fangchengbao Bao 8 Flash Charge Edition at the BYD factory, I found that not only can it extricate itself from a stuck situation without assistance, but it can even drive on three wheels. This truly gave me a new perspective on hard-core off-road vehicles powered by new energy. Let’s take a quick look at the vehicle. The Bao 8 Flash Charge Edition hasn’t changed much in appearance; it still retains its boxy, rugged style, with the addition of a two-tone body. The interior has been upgraded with North American white ash wood trim and a dual-door refrigerator, while the second row now features manual sunshades and thigh supports. But these aren’t the main focus—the real highlights are the following three: the YunNian-P Ultra hydraulic suspension, the second-generation Blade Battery with Flash Charge, and the DMO+ electric drive platform. The YunNian-P Ultra: Practical Functionality, Not Just a Gimmick The core of this test drive is the newly upgraded “YunNian-P Ultra” all-scenario intelligent hydraulic body control system. According to the manufacturer, it addresses the three major pain points of off-roading: getting stuck, failing to withstand rough terrain, and a bumpy ride. At the off-road test track set up at the BYD factory, we tested each feature one by one. First up was a simulated scenario of getting stuck in sand. Here, the YunNian-P Ultra’s “All-Condition Wheel Lift” feature proved most useful. After becoming stuck in the sand, a single button press lifted all four wheels simultaneously. We then placed a ramp or added some sand into the hole, and once the wheels were lowered, the vehicle easily broke free. No more need for a tow truck—self-rescue without relying on others. Moreover, any of the four wheels can be lifted individually, with a maximum lift height of 300 mm. With this feature, in addition to self-rescue, you can easily change a tire without using a jack. During a live demonstration, a staff member simply pulled out their phone, opened the Fangchengbao app, and tapped the “Lift Wheel” function. In no time, the suspension lifted the flat tire, and the lifting height could be adjusted. The next steps involved loosening the lug nuts, removing the tire, installing the new tire, and tightening the bolts. A professional mechanic timed the process at under 1 minute, while an average person using an electric wrench can typically complete it within 3 minutes. Furthermore, even if there is no spare tire available, the system features a “three-wheel driving” mode that allows the vehicle to drive at low speed on three wheels to the nearest repair shop. While this suite of features may seem novel, it offers significant practical value in real-world scenarios. Furthermore, the “YunNian-P Ultra” features full-scenario height adjustment capabilities, with suspension travel increased from 145 mm in the previous generation to 200 mm. It not only provides wheel lift but also offers full vehicle lift, capable of raising the body an additional 110 mm on steep slopes or rough terrain, with a maximum lifting capacity of 9 tons. Even when encountering obstacles while climbing a slope, lifting the vehicle with this feature significantly increases ground clearance and approach angle, allowing the vehicle to easily clear the obstacle. It’s worth noting that this system also features a camping leveling function. When camping in the wild on uneven ground, a single press of the “Camping Leveling” button automatically adjusts the height of all four wheels, leveling the cabin floor. This makes lying down more comfortable and ensures your picnic won’t be ruined by a tilted pot. On city roads, it also offers an anti-motion sickness mode, reducing brake dive by 20% and significantly improving the pitching sensation during acceleration and deceleration—a definite plus beyond off-road capabilities. DMO+ Platform: Point-and-Shoot Operation, Veteran Off-Roader Performance The Bao 8 Flash Charge Edition adopts the “DMO+” electric off-road platform, debuting with BYD’s full-speed-range road surface perception control technology. In practice, simply select the appropriate terrain mode. Whether on sand, mud, or rock, sensors continuously monitor the traction of each wheel against the ground in real time and automatically distribute torque. This eliminates the common issue with traditional off-road vehicles where “too little throttle leaves you stuck, while too much sends you careening out of control,” significantly lowering the barrier to entry for off-roading beginners. The event also featured dedicated test-drive scenarios, including cross-axle obstacles, gravel roads, and side slopes. While the simulated terrain was highly challenging, the Leopard 8 Flash Charge Edition navigated them with ease thanks to its DMO+ electric drive system and excellent body rigidity. Even after continuous testing, the vehicle showed no signs of abnormalities. Second-Generation Blade Battery + Flash Charge: 5-Minute Boost, Unfazed by Extreme Cold Finally, let’s talk about the battery and charging. The Bao 8 Flash Charge Edition is equipped with a second-generation Blade Battery. The manufacturer claims it can “charge to 70% in 5 minutes and reach full charge in 9 minutes,” meaning a 5-minute charge takes the battery from 10% to 70%, and it’s nearly full in 9 minutes. Even in extremely cold conditions, charging time increases by only 3 minutes. More importantly, there’s safety. The manufacturer conducted extreme tests: while fast-charging, they pierced the battery with a needle and simultaneously short-circuited all four cells—yet the cells didn’t catch fire or emit smoke. Even after a 1,500-joule impact, the battery didn’t catch fire or explode. When off-roading, the biggest fear is scraping the battery on the ground, but the Leopard 8 Flash Charge Edition gives drivers peace of mind in this regard. Summary: Throughout the entire test drive, the “YunNian-P Ultra” impressed with its array of robust features: self-rescue capabilities when stuck, no need for a jack in case of a flat tire,
