The Rundown: Ireland we are becoming a real backwater … we have not the infrastructure to engage with the advancements driven by China. Autonomous parking is here.

The Rundown: BYD is rolling out its Level 4 (L4) autonomous parking system, and — in a major industry first — the Chinese EV juggernaut is taking full legal and financial responsibility for anything that goes wrong in the process.

The details:BYD’s new “God’s Eye” system enables full hands-free, driver-free autonomous parking, meeting Level 4 autonomy standards under specific conditions.The automaker has pledged full responsibility for any damage, injury, or property loss caused while its ADAS system is in control during parking.The L4 parking feature is being deployed via over-the-air updates to more than 1M vehicles in China, including budget models priced under $10K.God’s Eye uses a dense sensor suite, including cameras, radars, and lidars, designed to navigate complex parking environments independently.

Why it matters: Tesla offers Level 2 autonomy, while Mercedes-Benz’s Level 4 system is limited to a single airport parking lot in Germany. BYD, on the other hand, is way ahead of the competition with massive rollouts of its new L4 tech, over-the-air updates to even entry-level models, and full responsibility if something goes amiss.
