The BYD Su Rui comes with a large key fob featuring a metal control panel which can be used to start and move the car from a distance of 10 meters. BYD says the Su Rui can only creep along at 1.2 mph in remote control mode, but otherwise steers and moves -- including in reverse -- as it would if the owner was behind the wheel. BYD advertises the technology as great for parking in tight spots or bringing the car to you in rainy weather, and far more impressive to your date than opening an umbrella.
Outside of its remote control, the Su Rui offers a few other tricks, including in-dash digital TV and multihue displays, and most of its specs and technology match up well with similar models from Asian or American automakers. By one metric, the Su Rui excels: in China, prices run from $10,000 to $15,000, within reach of the younger urbanites most in demand in China. BYD has said it still plans to eventually launch its electric vehicles in the United States -- but the remote-control Su Rui suggests a different path that could give American shoppers a jolt.
come to think of it, Nissan has had a remote Transformer car for many years,
one press of a button and the nissan B11,12 ,13 and 14 all turn into a big pile ah sheit, but then they didnt have the backwards technology so it just stayed that way..........
car is nice, but my greatest fear is the owner's manual, with their version of chinese to english translation.
first line may be "thank you for buying this product of great light. it will immerse you in great freedom of joy to you and your family. may it bring great work and pleasure to your life"
