Lafast and BYD

[Duane 3NE 2NR]

An exhibition in central Japan showcases tens of thousands of parts, stripped from the world's top-selling models. Japanese car parts manufacturers were stunned at the advances of Chinese brands BYD and Nio.

China is the new Korea, which was the new Japan

This BYD can jump over potholes

[pugboy]

is that worth paying double or triple the price locally?
come nah maan

[DMan7]

That feature isn't enticing at all, most of the potholes people encounter are in zones where you have to drive much slower than shown in the video. You have to be driving at a certain speed in order to activate that jumping feature.

the chinese really on a next level oui

[alfa]

Imagine jumping a pot hole to land in a next one

[fokhan_96]

Until your natural reflex takes over to swerve from the pothole and the car is mid air , you surely gonna flip it.

For Trinidad, it would have to hover

was in a tesla last year in usa
the screen shows the road/lanes around and the cars as well
incl cars on lane perpendicular approaching

it showed quite accurate descriptions of the sizes of the vehicles
anybody knows how it does this?

Self driving cars use cameras, ultrasonic sensors, lidar etc to map out the environment around them

It helps if road markings and signage are present and visible too.

i can understand for lanes alongside
but we were stopped at traffic light and vehicles crossing in front us were displayed from quite a distance

Yup they can "see" pretty far ahead - they have to to be able to react when travelling at speed.

When 5G systems come online the vehicles will be able to talk to each other

has there ever been a reliable Chinese designed and manufactured automobile of any kind?

No and there never will be, China isn't interested in quality and reliability they are interested in making money from people stupid enough to fall for something cheap, you get what you pay for, none of these companies like Toyota and Honda are "digging out your eyes" they are neck and neck in competition with low profit margins because competition is cut throat.

You literally get what you pay for, with Chinese you get mostly crap that looks good on the outside when new, they break down quick and you can't get parts for it. People who buy these Chinese vehicles are the type that buy new vehicles and trade it in and replace it with a newer version every 3 to 5 years.

When you buy Toyota you buy it to keep, sometimes for life.

It was just to show the car's ability, you apply it how you see fit or where it can be applied.

What I was excited about when I first saw this car and others months ago is what that system means for general driving dynamics, and this answers all my questions., it can defy physics in other ways that has the potential to redifine handling and control etc.

The Chinese are on a diffenrt level and not with cars alone, and no fuss no nothing ..

What I'm seeing of the Chinese brands is that many of them are willing to push the boundaries and offer as many features as possible across the model lineup including range, driving assistance, cameras, technology etc that the other brands only offer on their highest-end models or only incrementally add over a long period of time to increase sales - similar to phone manufacturers.
How long the Chinese models last is still to be seen.
What we are seeing though is that they are outselling the Japanese, European and American brands.
