In China, BYD customers are able to purchase a one-year plan to cover use of God's Eye 5.0.

BYD cites the reason for this confidence as being down to its "3.15 million Intelligent Driving Assistance vehicles on the road" resulting in around 200 million kilometres logged every day, plus the brand's huge R&D team of 5000 engineers, which it claims is the largest in China's automotive industry.
