Core Viewpoint - BYD has committed to fully covering safety and losses for all users of its "Tianshen Eye" vehicles in smart parking scenarios in the Chinese market, marking a significant shift in responsibility from insurance companies to the automaker itself [1][2][3]. Summary by Relevant Sections Coverage Details - The coverage applies to all models equipped with the "Tianshen Eye A", "Tianshen Eye B", and "Tianshen Eye C" smart driving assistance systems, providing lifetime benefits to all users regardless of whether they are the first owners [5]. - Specific exclusions from the coverage include unauthorized modifications, improper use of the vehicle, and accidents determined to be the fault of third parties by relevant authorities [5]. Industry Context - Other companies like Hongqi and Xiaopeng have previously offered compensation for accidents involving automated parking or driving through insurance companies, but BYD's approach is more direct and aggressive, taking full responsibility without a cap on compensation [2][9]. - The industry has generally relied on insurance partnerships for such coverage, with automakers not directly responsible for claims, which contrasts with BYD's new policy [8][9]. Technical Implications - The smart parking feature, classified as L4 level capability, allows for fully autonomous parking, which is a significant advancement in the industry [8]. - The move by BYD emphasizes the need for automakers to take on the role of primary responsibility for their technology and products, which is seen as a crucial step towards maturity in smart driving technology [10][11][12]. Future Considerations - The effectiveness of BYD's coverage policy will depend on the efficiency of its implementation, including timely accident assessments and smooth compensation processes [13]. - The potential for increased customer service challenges due to a rise in smart driving incidents is a concern, as previous experiences with insurance claims have shown complexities that could lead to customer dissatisfaction [13].

Core Viewpoint - The rapid development of intelligent driving technology has exposed various issues related to standards, safety, and marketing, prompting the China Automotive Engineering Research Institute (China Automotive Research) to launch five industry initiatives aimed at enhancing the safety of L2-level intelligent driving assistance systems [1][6]. Group 1: Industry Challenges - The penetration rate of L2-level passenger vehicles in China is projected to increase from 23.5% in 2021 to 55.7% in 2024, with an expected 65% in the current year [4]. - Analysis of 49 L2-level intelligent driving accidents revealed that 55% occurred on highways, 53% involved vehicle-to-vehicle collisions, and 76% happened under normal road conditions [4]. - Key causes of accidents include limitations in system functionality to handle complex road conditions and misuse or over-reliance on the system by drivers [4]. Group 2: Industry Initiatives - The five industry initiatives include establishing unified minimum safety requirements for L2 intelligent driving systems, enhancing driver monitoring and intervention mechanisms, creating transparent evaluation standards, regulating market promotion and user training, and promoting data sharing and iterative mechanisms [6][7]. - The initiatives align with the recent guidelines from the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and the State Administration for Market Regulation, which emphasize the need for accurate marketing of intelligent driving systems [7]. Group 3: Testing and Evaluation - China Automotive Research has developed the "Extreme Intelligent Long Test" system, which includes a standardized evaluation framework for high-level intelligent driving assistance, with a testing route covering various complex terrains and traffic conditions across China [9]. - The first test of the "Extreme Intelligent Long Test" was conducted on April 12-13, 2023, in Hainan, evaluating over 20 mass-produced intelligent vehicle models across more than 20 different driving scenarios [9]. - The goal is to transition intelligent driving from experimental parameters to user value through rigorous testing in real-world conditions [9].
