    Helping the BYD model achieve such scores are the autonomous emergency braking (AEB) system capable of detecting and reacting to vulnerable road users such as pedestrians, cyclists and motorcyclists.

    “The Sealion 6 is fitted with a cyclist anti-dooring system that provides information if a bicycle is approaching from the rear, however the information was not sufficiently early to be awarded points for this function,” ANCAP noted.

    ANCAP Chief Executive Officer Carla Hoorweg lauded BYD as it continues to offer “high levels of safety to its customers.”

    To note, the BYD Sealion 6 DM-i was brought to the country last July. It comes with DiPilot driver assistive amenities made up of a 360-degree camera with see-through mode, six-radar sensor setup, adaptive cruise control, lane keep assist, lane departure assist, automatic emergency braking, front collision warning, traffic congestion assistance, and traffic sign recognition.
