BYD says it will assume full financial liability for at-fault accidents that happen while its “God’s Eye” urban driving system is active in China — with no cap on the payout.

It’s a commitment Tesla has never made for “Full Self-Driving,” and it flips the industry’s standard liability model on its head.

What BYD actually committed to

BYD announced the policy on May 28 at its vehicle intelligence strategy event, the same showcase where it revealed China’s first in-house 4nm smart driving chip.
