# BYD has elevated the intelligent parking scenario to L4 level.

On July 9, BYD rolled out a large-scale OTA update, with the highlight being the "Eye of the Gods" intelligent driving system. Official data shows that in just five months, the number of vehicles equipped with this system surpassed one million—a rare speed in the industry. This upgrade isn't just minor fixes but a comprehensive "enhancement."

**Most notably****, and with a promise: if the car fails to park properly, the manufacturer will cover the costs**. In China, this is the first time an automaker has implemented L4-level features in real-world user scenarios, backed by a clear safety net policy.  

Specifically, this OTA update adds several practical features, such as:

Ability to **park head-first**, not just rear-first;

Handling off-center parking, such as leaving more space on the left or right;

Detecting **overhead obstacles**, like a loading platform ahead, and avoiding them;

**Automatically folding side mirrors** when parking in tight spaces to prevent scratches;

And features like **three-speed parking and active rear-wheel steering during parking**, mainly to improve parking efficiency and flexibility.

While these features sound numerous, the core logic is simple: **"Let the car think a few steps ahead."** Traditional parking assistance relies on radar and cameras, with the car following a preset path. But the L4-level parking logic of the Eye of the Gods system uses big data training and multi-model fusion to dynamically determine "the safest and most stable way to park," while also avoiding potential misjudgments.

The **safety net** aspect is also noteworthy. In the current ambiguous landscape of smart driving liability, many automakers opt for vague policies or shift responsibility to users. BYD's proactive assumption of safety responsibility for parking scenarios clearly reflects confidence. From a technical perspective, parking scenarios are indeed more suitable for the first phase of L4: confined spaces, low speeds, and easy evidence collection make them ideal for rapid deployment.

As for smart driving capabilities during travel, this OTA also expands features like **support for roundabouts, obstacle avoidance, and complex intersection U-turns**, even recognizing cut-ins by other vehicles and automatically flashing lights + honking. However, these remain in the L2+/L3 transition phase and don't involve liability coverage, indicating BYD's strategy of phased progression—first clarifying scenarios before gradually increasing autonomy.

Ultimately, **the competition in smart assisted driving is no longer just about approaches or demo effects, but about who dares to truly deploy, take responsibility, and maintain it**. From "smart driving insurance" to "parking liability coverage," and now one million smart vehicles upgrading simultaneously, BYD's move is likely to set the benchmark for whether other automakers will "get on board for real."

- **芒格学徒 · 2025-07-10T04:17:19.000Z**: Mine is also BYD. I checked specifically, but there's no push notification. Is it because I have the 2024 model?
