Chinese EV maker BYD on Wednesday pledged to cover losses involving its God’s Eye assisted driving system during smart parking incidents in China.Chinese electric vehicle (EV) giant BYD on Wednesday announced that it will take full responsibility for any damages caused to vehicles using its “God’s Eye” assisted driving system during smart parking scenarios within China. The move marks a significant commitment to consumer confidence as automakers push the envelope with increasingly autonomous vehicle features.
In an official statement, BYD revealed that its smart parking technology has reached the equivalent of Level 4 autonomy. This means the system is capable of operating the vehicle without human intervention under specific conditions — allowing drivers to remove their hands from the wheel, eyes from the road, and minds from the driving task altogether. With this level of autonomy, the onus of accountability in the event of a malfunction or accident shifts from the driver to the manufacturer.
To reassure customers, BYD stated that in the event of any damage resulting from the God’s Eye smart parking system, users will not need to navigate the traditional insurance claims process. Instead, affected owners can directly contact BYD’s after-sales service team to resolve the issue. This customer-centric approach not only simplifies the response to incidents but also signals BYD’s confidence in the reliability and safety of its technology.
The God’s Eye system is part of BYD’s broader strategy to establish leadership in the intelligent EV space. As smart driving technologies gain traction in China — the world’s largest EV market — manufacturers are under pressure to demonstrate both innovation and accountability. BYD’s move could set a precedent for how advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) are backed in terms of manufacturer responsibility and customer support.
