Self-Parking With Zero Risk? BYD Says Yes
BYD just rewrote the rulebook on autonomous features. The Chinese EV giant now promises to cover any damage caused by its self-parking system, God’s Eye. No insurance calls, no claim paperwork, no fine print—just contact BYD, and they’ll handle it.
This kind of corporate accountability is rare. It sets BYD apart from the crowd. And it shows a level of confidence Tesla hasn’t dared to match, even as it continues rolling out Full Self-Driving.
How It Works—and What It Covers
The guarantee comes as part of BYD’s newest over-the-air (OTA) software update. It introduces Level 4 Smart Parking to a broad lineup of BYD vehicles. That means the car can fully handle complex parking scenarios without any driver input.
But the headline-grabbing twist? If your BYD dings someone else’s car while parking itself, BYD picks up the repair bill—directly. No middlemen, no fuss. Even better, it won’t affect your insurance or increase your premium next year.
The promise only applies while the smart parking system is active, not during manual driving. Still, it’s precisely the moment where driver error or system glitches can lead to frustrating, low-speed accidents.
Not Just Smarter—More Responsible
God’s Eye isn’t just smarter. It now handles low-light hazards, hanging obstacles, narrow garages, and even retracts mirrors during tight maneuvers. It’s designed to think like a careful human—only better.
With more than 29% of the global EV battery market, BYD has the reach and resources to make good on this guarantee at scale.
A New Standard for Self-Driving Trust
BYD’s self-parking guarantee isn’t just a flashy headline—it’s a bold statement about trust, accountability, and the future of autonomous driving. While other automakers cautiously test features and shift responsibility, BYD is betting big on its tech and standing behind it publicly. If the self-driving race is about confidence and customer trust, BYD may have just pulled ahead—by proving it’s not afraid to take full responsibility when it matters most.
