BYD’s Smart Car Features Include Drones and In-Car Video Games

(Bloomberg) — BYD Co. Ltd., the world’s largest maker of electric vehicles, showed off a range of new smart car features on Tuesday in Shenzhen as it tries to narrow the gap with rivals whose cars come with more high-tech features.

The Chinese automaker plans to add its “navigation-on-autopilot” feature to some of its electric and hybrid cars, it said. The version, which it describes as Level 2 Plus, means drivers can take their hands off the steering wheel and feet off the pedals in a variety of scenarios.
