On: BYD to offer Tesla-like self-driving tech in all models for free

[locusm]

I went to an EV drive day here in Australia and drove around 25 models round a track for the day. The BYD Seal came out on top for me and many others. Interior styling is so much better than Tesla as is fit & finish. The driving dynamics were neck & neck with Tesla and a few other high end cars. BYD also make great batteries and use CATL I think in some models. I can see BYD being the dominant player in the not too distant future.

You can play this "style" of game in Project Reality, albeit against US Marines in Fallujah. It is a very fun map and led to other less COD like games such as Hell Let Loose and Squad etc.
