Core Viewpoint - BYD has announced a new patent for a "vehicle drift control method," which aims to enhance the driving experience by making drifting more controllable and enjoyable for users [1][2]. Group 1: Patent Details - The patent outlines a method that determines the driver's intention to drift based on vehicle driving status information [1]. - If a drift intention is detected, the current drift angle of the vehicle is assessed, and adjustments are made based on the difference between the current and target drift angles [1]. - The adjustments include torque regulation of the drive motor and steering angle adjustments of the rear axle, which help in controlling the drift and reducing the drift angle [1]. Group 2: Technological Context - BYD's previously launched Yunlian intelligent vehicle body control system has been recognized as a leading technology in body control [1]. - The Yunlian-A intelligent air body control system effectively suppresses body roll during sharp turns, integrating braking, driving, and suspension systems for a stable driving experience [1]. - The newly announced drift control patent is expected to provide users with a more controllable and enjoyable drifting experience, building on the capabilities of the existing iADC intelligent drift control system [2].
