A new era of automotive technology integration
Leading Chinese automaker BYD and global drone technology leader DJI
Innovations held a landmark press conference in Shenzhen to announce the launch of an innovative intelligent vehicle-mounted drone system, officially named “Lingyuan”. The system represents a major leap in the integration of automotive and aviation technologies, and is designed to cover BYD’s entire range of models and promote widespread application of the technology.
BYD Group Chairman and President Wang Chuanfu highlighted the depth of this collaboration, saying: “The collaboration between BYD and DJI is not as simple as putting a drone on a car, but rather designing and developing a complete vehicle integration system from scratch, starting from the underlying technology.” This statement sums up the essence of this collaboration, which is to achieve synergy effects where the combined capabilities of cars and drones go beyond their individual functions, ultimately having a transformative impact on the mobility ecosystem.
Innovative features to enhance user experience
The Lingyuan system is equipped with a series of advanced features designed to enhance the user experience and redefine our view of travel. One of the most prominent features is the dynamic shooting and intelligent follow function. The drone can take off while the vehicle is moving, with a maximum speed of 25 km/h and a maximum speed of 54 km/h, which can accurately capture the scene while driving, making it very suitable for outdoor off-road adventures, self-driving tours and urban exploration. The integration of the on-board positioning module and the AI algorithm ensures that the drone can automatically adjust the flight path and maintain stable shooting even in complex road conditions.
In addition, the system also has one-click shooting and intelligent creation functions, including 30 built-in shooting templates. Users can use AI algorithms to generate high-quality aerial videos with minimal effort, automatically selecting footage, editing, and adding music. This feature is designed to democratize content creation, so that even novices can easily create professional-level videos.
Pioneering solutions for future mobility
Lingyuan system also introduced innovative hardware solutions, including the world’s first airborne retractable helipad, which integrates positioning module, 4K roof camera, dual-mode handle and other functions, and can realize automatic storage, charging and take-off and landing of drones. Safety is the core of Lingyuan system, and the system is equipped with drone-specific insurance, built-in anemometer and temperature control system to ensure flight safety under various conditions.
In terms of adaptability, the system provides two versions: a battery-swap version compatible with BYD’s high-end brand “Yangwang”, and a fast-charging version covering multiple BYD brands. The battery-swap version allows the drone to automatically return to the vehicle to replace the battery, achieving seamless connection; the fast-charging version supports ultra-fast charging, which can be charged to 80% in 30 minutes, and is equipped with an automotive-grade temperature control system, which can maintain stable performance even in extreme environments.
Calling for global cooperation to promote technological progress
BYD’s collaboration with DJI is not just about product-level cooperation, but also about a broader vision for future smart mobility. By working with other industry leaders such as Huawei, BYD aims to build an open ecosystem centered around smart cars. This move is expected to transform car-mounted drones from a niche feature to a standard feature, and has the potential to become a key differentiator in the field of automotive intelligence.
As the world increasingly embraces technological advancement, BYD’s leading position in smart mobility is evident. The Lingyuan system embodies the company’s determination to use innovation to benefit society. In this context, BYD calls on international partners to actively participate in building a world characterized by technological intelligence and promote cooperation across borders and cultures.
In conclusion, the launch of the Lingyuan system marks an important milestone in the development of automotive technology. The collaboration between BYD and DJI not only demonstrates the potential of automotive and drone integration, but also sets a precedent for future innovation in the industry. As we stand on the brink of a new era of mobility, the call for global cooperation is more urgent than ever, urging countries to unite in pursuit of a technologically advanced and sustainable future.
