The control panel app allows you to take videos and photos, and it also appears to have video editing and AI recognition apps.
The Lingyin will be available on all BYD EV models, and BYD describes it as 'an intelligent in-vehicle drone system that transforms a vehicle into a mobile entertainment and exploration platform.'
'BYD and DJI's cooperation goes beyond simply putting drones on cars. We have integrated vehicle and drone technologies in a way that strengthens both,' BYD Chairman Wang Chuanfu was quoted as saying by Chinese newspaper Xinhua.
The South China Morning Post, a Chinese English-language newspaper, said, 'Chinese EV makers are leveraging advanced and intelligent features to attract more customers and overcome price wars in the domestic market. China's traditional automakers not only have to compete with each other, but also with startups and new entrants such as smartphone makers Xiaomi and Huawei.' It pointed out that the emergence of the Lingyun is a result of intensifying competition in China's EV industry.
