Funny story: was visiting Chengdu and got to test drive a BYD. The sales rep was super energetic and proud of how superior to Tesla their tech was.

And I was eating it up until she turned on self-driving and we crashed into a parked car.

Still a really great EV car at a great price. But I'm not ready for any car's self-driving after that...

I mean, I don't see your problem; she was simply demonstrating that it had the same capability to randomly crash into things as Tesla's solution! That's what people _like_ about the Tesla one; keeps things interesting.

Yeah I drive a BYD Atto 3 and it's a great car but the lane assist and adaptive cruise control lets it down significantly. I won't be getting excited about self driving this decade.
