The brand announced at its 'Intelligence Strategy Launch Event' that it would cover "all resulting economic losses" from an accident resulting from use of BYD's Urban Navigate on Autopilot (NOA) function, part of its God's Eye ADAS suite.

BYD has also announced that its entire line-up can be equipped with the top-spec LiDAR version of God's Eye, enabling level 3 and 4 self-driving.
In China, BYD customers are able to purchase a one-year plan to cover use of God's Eye 5.0.
BYD says the policy states "if a legally-liable accident occurs while a user is operating the Urban NOA function in compliance with regulations, BYD will directly cover all resulting economic losses".
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.
