BYD assumes unlimited liability for crashes involving its God's Eye autonomous driving system

Summary
BYD announced it will assume full financial liability for at-fault accidents occurring while its "God's Eye" urban driving system is active in China, with no cap on payouts. This policy, revealed at BYD's vehicle intelligence strategy event on May 28, represents a significant departure from standard industry practice and contrasts sharply with Tesla's approach to its "Full Self-Driving" system, which has never made such a commitment. The move positions BYD as taking a more consumer-protective stance in the competitive autonomous driving market.
