In this video I test the BYD Seal Autopilot Test (Intelligent Cruise Control + Lane Keeping Assist): where does it work well and where not so well. #byd #bydseal #autopilot #selfdriving
Thanks for the comment. So based on this video, is the behavior of the LKA worse in Morocco or does it handle these kind of slight curves like on the video?
It seems it handles the same. Really handful in the highway under 130 kmh, but really annoying in tighter roads with a lot of curves. The HUD is a must to have to use this ADAS as we can monitor easily exactly when it disconnects, much more dangerous to use in versions without HUD.
Thanks for the video. For the frequent warning beeps and then disengagement of AP, does the car slow down? I looked at your speed (so I wonder if you put your foot on the accelerator when it disengaged?). Have you tried this in traffic jams? In Hong Kong, I tried to use AP (in my Tesla) during traffic jams, but the system leaves too much gap so other drivers will easily cut in. It will be interesting to hear what your experience with BYD AP is like in this situation.
@@tooflesstesla it does slow down when the adaptive cruise control disables as the regenerative braking sets in. So you will surely notice it by then. But if only the lane assist disengages, there is no slow down. I have used the adaptive cruise control in traffic jams and find the distance ok. The car continues automatically when the var front of you starts moving - unless there is a longer stop, in which case you need to press the accelerator pedal to continue. Then the lane assist is not much of a use in urban areas, that is mostly for highway only.
What mode were you using, I think Eco mode ya? Is intelligent cruise control the byd’s term for adaptive cruise control? Btw nice sharing, one more subscriber here 😁
@@ElectricSeal-bq5wu LKA is a driver assistance feature that is supposed to nudge you back into the centre of the lane. ICC is what you were using in this video, it is what BYD call autopilot. The button to the left of the rocker wheel will engage ICC and the button to the right of the rocker wheel engages just ACC.
i dont like when it disabled itself if we didnt touch it for a long time.. what if im asleep😢 there should be some safety assist if we slept (like slowly parked on left lane, with hazard lights)
Today I activated it at 120 km/h and no issues. Not sure of minimum (I think it might be 30), need to check that one. If you use the accelerator, it will stay on and the speed will pick up, but will return to the previously set speed after you have released the accelerator. It's pretty handy how it works there.
Autonomous driving of BYD is in its infancy just like the automobile giant GEELY as they belong to the 3 tier of the Chinese standards. Xiaopeng and Tesla belong to the second tier. Huawei is leading way ahead and belongs to the first tier. The Avatr 12 and IM LS7 are using Huawei's autonomous driving system.
@@ElectricSeal-bq5wu It was highway driving, mostly when there was some kind of interruption in the markings but on one occasion which surprised me where there was clear lines on a slight curve. These were also night time on low beam, so perhaps conditions were not optimal. I will experiment some more in better conditions
@@ImWatchinYou good info. I’ve mostly encountered similar behavior with poor lane markings, but then again haven’t used the autopilot at night time too often. Well, hopefully the software will develop and BYD focuses on improving these things for the Seal.
The autopilot requires you to steer manually at least slightly every now and then, as you can see in the video, so using fully autopilot for an extended period of time is not possible. Also the autopilot is not that advanced that it could do turns at intersections or in city areas. It is really meant to be used on highways and larger roads like ring roads with only gentle curves.
Is there button also for only using adaptive cc, without active steering (autopilot)? Does Seal have basic cc or is it always adaptive for ex. in winter if sensors are blocked, can you use basic cc?
Yes there is a button for just the cruise control without activating the lane keeping assist. It's also there on the left side of the steering wheel. As for the manual cruise control, I at least haven't found one yet..
This is not LKA (Lane Keeping Assist) = ping pong. This is LFA (Lane Follow Assist) or lane centering system. Thank you for this video 👍
Thanks for the clarification, LFA sounds like a more accurate term.
I was waiting for him to say "Leave me alone, I know what I'm doing". Sounds just like Kimmi.
Thank you for the video. In Morocco we have version 1.0 of infotainement system lane keeping assist disconnects when the road is too curved.

@@Panardo777 Let’s hope that BYD improves those things through software updates. I think that could well be one of their focus areas.

Auto pilot works fine for me. The lane assistant I don't use. It's too unnerving for me.
Seems more trouble than it's worth at this time, easier to steer yourself. Hopefully it improves in the coming years.
Definitely a feature that can be improved. I use it maybe half of the time on larger roads, but not always.
Warum nimmst du nicht den Transportschutz beim Rückspiegel ab - sieht ohne viel besser aus
Oh, indeed! Thanks for the tip 😅 Will remove that one
What mode were you using, I think Eco mode ya?

The Seal has ACC (adaptive cruise control) and ICC (intelligent cruise control). The latter will control the speed and automatically steer the car.
Thanks for clarifying that. So ICC + LKA (lane-keeping assist) = ICC, right?
I used the sports mode with Intelligent cruise control. The drive mode (sports/normal/eco) shouldn't make any difference here.

Yes, I agree, not the best implementation from that point of view.
I find the auto steer only works on straight roads. Even a slight curve will send it off the road.
Interesting, does that happen for you also on the highway?
@@ElectricSeal-bq5wuYes, slight curves on the highway seems to throw it out.
@@vasil7410 hmm, maybe good to have it checked out? Perhaps something off with calibration of the system.
is there a speed limit? like slowest to enable and fastest speed while using it? if u press throttle .. will it disabled ?

Interesting insight, thanks for sharing.
which software version do you have?
I’m still on 2310.
Mine tried to run me off the road several times so I don't use it now
@@ImWatchinYou Thanks for sharing your experience. Was that on highway or smaller streets?

Ce nest pas jn fsd ou autopilote rien a voor avec tesla , pingpong arrivera un jour mais pas aujourd'hui
Can u make 1 video where from point A to B without using steering? Just all autopilot tq
The autopilot requires you to steer manually at least slightly every now and then, as you can see in the video, so using fully autopilot for an extended period of time is not possible. Also the autopilot is not that advanced that it could do turns at intersections or in city areas. It is really meant to be used on highways and larger roads like ring roads with only gentle curves.
This looks fine, so why do so many people complain about this assistant? :)
@@Daniel-pd1bz i suppose it’s the tighter curves and/or city areas where people expect it to be better.
Is there button also for only using adaptive cc, without active steering (autopilot)? Does Seal have basic cc or is it always adaptive for ex. in winter if sensors are blocked, can you use basic cc?
