Extra: BYD Becomes World's First Automaker to Provide Full Damage Coverage for Intelligent Parking and Urban NOA

BYD is now the first automaker to offer full damage coverage for both intelligent parking and urban NOA systems.

The policy is aimed at situations where driver-assist software makes a mistake while parking or navigating city streets.

It covers repair costs and some liability risks that owners would otherwise have to pay themselves.

Analysts see the move as a direct trust-building step toward mainstream autonomous driving adoption.

Competitors are likely to follow with similar insurance-backed guarantees.

What does it mean for you when your car maker starts covering the mistakes of its own software?
