BYD has patented an AI-powered safety system that scans beneath a vehicle before it moves, detecting people, pets, or other living organisms. The technology compares a saved reference image with real-time scans and uses a two-step AI process to distinguish living beings from shadows, dirt, or debris, helping reduce false alarms.
The patent showcases how AI could help prevent low-speed accidents and improve everyday vehicle safety.
Soon your EV might remind you to check under the car before backing out… and finally settle the mystery of whether that shadow is just a backpack or the neighborhood cat.
