BYD has started selling the Yangwang super sedan: 1,300 horsepower and a unique chassis. In China, at the Guangzhou Auto Show, they opened the acceptance of applications for the Yangwang U7, the third model in the luxury brand's lineup. BYD showed the interior of the four-door car and shared additional information about the technology. It is curious that pre-orders for the Yangwang U7 are accepted with a deposit of 20,000 yuan (2.8 thousand dollars), but there is no price list or start date for deliveries yet.
The appearance and main characteristics of the Yangwang U7 were revealed in February, but deliveries of the sedan were delayed. The 5.3-meter-long car has an outstanding aerodynamic drag coefficient (Cx = 0.195), a four-motor e4 power plant and giant lithium-iron-phosphate batteries with a capacity of 135.5 kilowatt-hours. It is not surprising that the electric car weighs 3.1 tons!
The electric version has a range of 720 kilometers (CLTC), 0-100 acceleration takes 2.9 seconds, and braking from 100 km / h to a complete stop occurs in 33 meters. The pride of the car is the all-wheel steering chassis with a 20-degree rear axle rotation and variable-ratio steering: the turning radius is only 4.85 meters! The super sedan also features a DiSus-Z suspension with electric shock absorbers instead of hydraulic ones. The chassis adjustment occurs in just 0.01 seconds.

Chinese journalists believe that the electric Yangwang U7 will cost at least one million yuan (138 thousand dollars). A hybrid with a smaller battery (52.4 kilowatt-hours), a different body kit, a range of up to 1000 kilometers and an as yet unknown power plant is also expected.

Autonomous vehicles are becoming more and more popular, but at some point safety is in question.
A video circulating on the Chinese social network Weibo shows a driver taking a break while an unmanned Zeekr drives him along the highway on autopilot.
To fool the security system, the steering wheel is blocked with a bottle simulating the presence of hands. That way, however, if there's an event that Autopilot can't determine, the car can simply cause an accident.
Don't do this on autopilot, it's too dangerous for you and others!

Shocking New Ford Patent: Cars Can Spy on Others and Send Data to Police and Insurance Companies Ford is pushing the boundaries of automotive technology with a new patent aimed at improving policing through advanced surveillance capabilities. The new system, called “Systems and Methods for Speeding Detection,” uses sophisticated onboard sensors in future Ford vehicles to detect and document speeding by nearby vehicles. The technology, which captures images and data from moving vehicles using cameras and GPS, is designed to provide that information directly to law enforcement. Officials can then use that data to take legal action. As a major supplier of police vehicles (more than half of the police cars in the U.S. are made by Ford), the company’s integration of such features has raised concerns about the scope of potential surveillance and the broader privacy implications of connected vehicles.
