BYD: assisted driving slashes severe accident rate to one-sixth across 3 million vehicles BYD said its assisted driving systems are now deployed across more than 60 vehicle models, and nearly 3 million vehicles, with severe accident rates reduced to one-sixth of human driving levels based on airbag-triggered incidents per 10 million kilometres, according to Autohome. The figures were presented by Yang Dongsheng, BYD Group senior vice president and head of the Automotive New Technology Research Institute, during the 13th Intelligent Connected Vehicle Technology Annual Conference held in Shanghai on May 21. Large-scale deployment Yang said BYD began expanding its deployment of intelligent driving in early 2025 and now offers L2-assisted driving systems across almost its entire passenger-car lineup. According to the presentation, navigation-assisted driving activation rates exceeded 50%, while parking-assistance usage reached 86%. BYD also stated that parking-related scratches and minor collisions declined to approximately one-fiftieth of human-driving levels under its parking assistance system. The company referenced its “God’s Eye” intelligent driving system and the associated parking-assistance guarantee program introduced in July 2025. The speech comes ahead of BYD’s May 28 intelligent-driving strategy event, which has triggered industry speculation over a broader rollout of updated God’s Eye systems and additional vehicle integration plans. Xuanji architecture and AI models Yang attributed part of the system integration capability to BYD’s Xuanji Architecture, which combines the electronic architecture and electrification systems into a unified vehicle platform. According to the presentation, BYD uses cloud-based world models and reinforcement learning for long-tail simulation training, supported by 190 million km of daily driving data generation. Yang said the company currently performs algorithm iterations every three days. BYD also described the use of physical AI models on the vehicle side for predictive driving functions and defensive-response calculations. The company said the system combines visual occupancy network detection

PARIS, May 23, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The Geely Starray EM-i has completed a beyond-compliance, dual-sided serial extreme crash test at France’s Euro NCAP-accredited UTAC headquarters. The vehicle’s exceptional performance directly validated Geely's leading vehicle safety architecture and its systemic engineering depth. Geely Auto was the sole automaker selected to conduct a live safety demonstration during the "Automotive Safety Tech Globalization & Innovation in the Smart Driving Era" summit, co-hosted by the China Automotive Engineering Research Institute Co., Ltd. (CAERI) and UTAC. As Europe's first-ever side-impact test combined with a far-side rigid pole intrusion challenge, this test goes far beyond the current Euro NCAP side-impact protocol, compounding the test’s severity to replicate real-world multi-vehicle chain collisions. During the test, a moving deformable barrier strikes the side of the vehicle at 60 km/h, pushing it into a rigid pole positioned on the opposite side, creating a second high-severity impact comparable to a side pole crash. It puts an extreme test on the vehicle’s structural integrity, millisecond-level airbag deployment algorithms, and NEV battery system protection. The results confirmed that the Geely STARRAY EM-i maintained an intact passenger cell after the collision. The restraint systems were deployed with pinpoint precision, the e-CALL emergency rescue system triggered instantly, and the doors unlocked automatically. Spanning nearly three decades of automotive manufacturing, Geely Auto has steadfastly adhered to its core philosophy of “Consumer First, Safety First”. Geely Auto has fused full-domain AI technology to enhance its Comprehensive Safety System 2.0. This evolution shifts the focus from traditional “vehicle-centric safety” to an ecosystem-wide perspective encompassing “People-Vehicle-Road-Cloud-Satellite”, anchoring four distinct zero-accident mobility visions. Through sustained R&D investments, Geely Auto has built deep technological barriers. Propelled by uncompromising quality, Geely Auto has secured top ratings in 80 global authoritative safety assessments, with various models securing prestigious five-star ratings across

Intelligent Systems for Safer Roads Danish Nadar (AI/M.A.S. AI 3rd Year) changed the way that he looked at transportation after he was struck by a speeding car. That experience got him thinking about how quickly everyday travel can become dangerous, and how he could affect change. “After that incident, that topic transformed from an interest to personal ambition,” he says. “It clarified what I want to spend my life working on, motivated me to use (artificial intelligence) and autonomy to build safer road travel systems, improve decision-making in complex environments, and leverage novel technologies to develop exceptional and life-changing applications.” Danish is fascinated by autonomous vehicle technology and the idea that software could reduce human error. He is exploring his fascination through Illinois Tech’s Elevate initiative and by joining the university’s EcoCAR team as a connected and autonomous vehicle engineer. “The Elevate [initiative] stood out because it emphasized internship access, real professional experience, and a clear pathway to develop industry-ready skills,” he says. “After I arrived, I discovered even more opportunities that reinforced that decision, including hands-on teams such as EcoCAR, engineering organizations, and development groups. Those experiences ended up aligning perfectly with my ambitions.” Danish says he has also found a culture of mentorship and support at Illinois Tech, especially from Teaching Professor of Computer Science Jacek Dzikowski, whose challenges have pushed Danish to aim higher than he thought imaginable. Dzikowski’s standards pushed him to tackle bigger goals, stay disciplined, and follow through at a high level. “I have developed a structured process for breaking problems down, testing assumptions, and improving systems through iteration,” he says. “That shift in my mindset has shown me the difference between writing code and engineering AI systems.” Danish has been pursuing practical, applied coursework in areas such as computer vision, natural language processing,

- The Pirelli Cyber Tire gathers data and sends it to your car and to the cloud. - It could even send data to cars bnehind you to warn about potholes, rain, snow, and ice so you can adjust your driving accordingly. - No date for production, but they will be made in the U.S., Pirelli said. Pirelli just announced a major step forward in its strategy to transform tires into AI-enabled road-monitoring agents, the company said at the recent SelectUSA Investment Summit, where it presented what it has named its Cyber Tire technology. Toward that end, the Italian tiremaker acquired a 30 percent stake in Swedish AI company Univrses, strengthening the integration of advanced computer vision technologies into Pirelli’s Cyber Tire system. Wait, what is this? “Cyber Tire is the world’s first hardware-and-software system capable of collecting data and information from sensors embedded in tires,” the company said, “processing them through Pirelli’s proprietary software and algorithms, and, by communicating in real time with the vehicle’s electronics, enabling new functionalities integrated with driving and control systems to enhance the driving experience and increase safety levels, as well as supporting connected infrastructure.” What, exactly, can this do? A lot of things. “The accelerometer detects forces but also road condition, roughness, irregularities, holes, whatever,” said Piero Misani, chief technical officer and head of Cyber Tire business at Pirelli. In addition to, say potholes, it can detect water, ice, or snow on the road and, in the future, anyway, send that data to cars behind it so they know to slow down. “Cars will be more and more connected,” Misani said. “Of course, this information may be used not only inside the single car for steering and braking control, but also to inform others of critical situations. The point is that the cars

Engineers at GM have come up with a new idea for improving what a vehicle can see around it. Picture the top-down view that a 360-degree surround camera can generate, but then combine the images from the cameras on your vehicle with the cameras on the vehicles around you. That's a bigger, more detailed look, and it could be important for tech like self-driving cars. Teamwork Could Make The Autonomous Dream Work A recently published GM patent describes what the automaker calls a "collaborative perception system," and it uses it to create a "cooperative perception map." Those descriptions summarize it well, because it relies heavily on inter-vehicle collaboration. Autonomous vehicles rely on huge amounts of data to know their location, where they are going, and what is around them. Naturally, they have sensors to help do that, including LiDar and radar, as well as ultrasonic sensors and cameras with machine vision. They also have maps and previous laser scans of areas. But even with all of those combined, an autonomous vehicle can't see everything. It has blind spots for objects that are hidden, like behind other cars, as well as for objects that might not look to a computer like they are about to move, but a human can identify. Cruise Robotaxis Are Back - But You Can't Hitch A Ride In One GM has charged up its Cruise Bolt AVs to test out its newest self-driving car tech. One way to solve that problem is to have every vehicle in a location working together to make a new map. Your car can't see beside that parked car at the curb, but if its cameras could "show" your car the hidden side, your car would be safer and more effective. Data Sharing Is Both Impressive And Terrifying Sharing that data,

In the largest proposed settlement under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) to date, General Motors LLC and its subsidiary OnStar will pay $12.75 million in civil penalties for allegedly collecting, retaining and later selling driver- and driving-related data from hundreds of thousands of California OnStar subscribers. The May 8 enforcement action filed by the California Attorney General and district attorneys of several counties, with the support of California Privacy Protection Agency (CPPA) asserts violations of the CCPA, California’s Unfair Competition Law and California’s False Advertising Law. The complaint alleges that from 2016 to 2024 GM collected and retained data including names and contact information, driving behavior, and GPS location information showing where consumers drove and parked, and in 202 sold the data to third-party data brokers. The proposed final judgment also requires GM and OnStar to agree to a five-year moratorium on the sale of data to consumer reporting agencies, to submit privacy assessments to the state, and to delete or destroy certain previously retained data. Key Takeaways California’s enforcement action against General Motors and OnStar is more than a connected-car case. It illustrates how California regulators are thinking about data monetization, sensitive personal information, purpose limitation, data minimization and the practical limits of a notice-and-consent privacy model. - The lawsuit is the first brought to enforce the CCPA’s data minimization principle. The California Attorney General alleged that GM retained driving and location data longer than necessary to provide OnStar and Smart Driver services, and then sold that data for a purpose that was unrelated to the reason the data was collected. - The complaint treats purpose limitation as a substantive restriction, not merely a disclosure obligation. The complaint specifically states that even if GM had disclosed the insurance-related use, developing an unrelated driver-rating service would not have been

When Jeff Bezos said that one breakthrough technology would shape Amazon’s destiny, even Wall Street’s biggest analysts were caught off guard. Fast forward a year and Amazon’s new CEO Andy Jassy described generative AI as a “once-in-a-lifetime” technology that is already being used across Amazon to reinvent customer experiences. At the 8th Future Investment Initiative conference, Elon Musk predicted that by 2040 there would be at least 10 billion humanoid robots, with each priced between $20,000 and $25,000. Do the math. According to Musk, this technology could be worth $250 trillion by 2040. Put another way, that’s roughly equal to: - 175 Teslas - 107 Amazons - 140 Metas - 84 Googles - 65 Microsofts - And 55 Nvidias And here’s the wild part — this $250 trillion wave isn’t tied to one company, but to an entire ecosystem of AI innovators set to reshape the global economy. It’s a leap so massive, it could reshape how businesses, governments, and consumers operate worldwide. Even if that $250 trillion figure sounds ambitious, major firms like PwC and McKinsey still see AI unlocking multi-trillion-dollar potential. How could anything be worth that much? The answer lies in a breakthrough so powerful it’s redefining how humanity works, learns, and creates. And this breakthrough has already set off a frenzy among hedge funds and Wall Street’s top investors. What most investors don’t realize is that one under-owned company holds the key to this $250 trillion revolution. In fact, Verge argues this company’s supercheap AI technology should concern rivals. Before I reveal the details, let’s talk about how some of the richest people on the planet are positioning themselves. - Bill Gates sees artificial intelligence as the “biggest technological advance in my lifetime,” more transformative than the internet or personal computer, capable of improving healthcare, education,
