Cutting-edge technology is rewriting the rules for high-performance vehicles, and the BYD YANGWANG U9 sits firmly at the center of this revolution. While the electric supercar’s 1,300 horsepower and 0-100 km/h in under 2.5 seconds acceleration are headline-grabbers, it’s the U9’s integration of autonomous driving and the innovative Leap Function that truly set it apart.
The U9’s driving intelligence is anchored by BYD’s God’s Eye A (DiPilot 600) system. This advanced driver-assist suite allows the U9 to autonomously complete a full lap at tracks like the Hunan Zhuzhou International Circuit—during both day and night conditions. The car showcases precision cornering, rapid acceleration, and assertive braking, all under algorithmic control. This demonstrates how self-driving is now moving beyond urban comfort and safety, reaching into the arena of track-grade performance.
Integrating BYD’s DiSus-X Intelligent Suspension System, the U9 introduces features never before seen in consumer supercars. The Leap Function—enabled by DiSus-X’s ability to generate rapid vertical force—lets the car literally jump over obstacles, such as road spikes or potholes, even while moving at speed. In dramatic tests, this autonomous supercar can sense hazards on its path and “hop” over them, maintaining vehicle control, stability, and passenger comfort throughout.
This isn’t just a parlor trick. The Leap Function is a showcase for a body control system that can raise, lower, and tilt the car rhythmically, stabilize the cabin under extreme maneuvers, and adapt ride height or stiffness in real time for different driving scenarios—whether in hardcore racing or daily commutes.
The U9 leverages the e4 architecture, with four independent electric motors (one per wheel), unlocking true torque vectoring and responsiveness. This provides unmatched agility for autonomous control algorithms, whether maneuvering aggressively on a track or leaping over obstacles. The modular build means the system can deliver power or braking to any individual wheel, maximizing grip and preventing loss of traction instantly.
The U9 represents a new frontier, where artificial intelligence, advanced sensors, and real-time data processing are integral to both driver safety and performance. The U9’s God’s Eye A system uses a wraparound sensor suite—cameras, radar, and LiDAR—to create a 360-degree digital map, supporting both adaptive cruise and real-time obstacle recognition on the road.
With Level 2+ autonomous capabilities, the U9 can navigate city roads and highways, but its breakthroughs hint at a future where machine learning could beat human drivers, not just in routine commuting, but in the heat of motorsports competition.
