From FT comments section:

Marketing from BYD "luxury features at bargain prices"

Marketing from Tesla "Hitler wasn't all bad"

God’s eye? Why not Jesus’ wheel? We could just say “Jesus, take the wheel!” And the car would engage the self driving mode.

Cross religion = multi market 😆

I thought Jesus was the cross religion

If it's God's eye and Jesus's wheel, then who does this shift stick belong to?

Satan's lever.

The Holy ~~Spirit~~ Shift-it

"Gods eye" view is a common idiom for a third person perspective. That's probably what they're referencing.

Tesla full self driving is a $8,000 option, and BYD aim to sell a whole car for that?

They really have rested on their laurels, haven't they?

FSD isn't even real, too, so if BYD's is, they already won even without the price tag difference.

It's not self driving in the sense that the car needs no driver input, but it seems to be as good or better as any other enhanced cruise control system.

No, the name is a lie.

Isn't that the name of the global surveillance system in one of the Mission Impossible movies? It's like they're not even trying to hide it...

You're thinking Fast and Furious 7 "Fate of the Furious"

It’s been a long day without you my friend…

Great. Soon the CCP will watch us every time one of their cars passes by. I couldn't think of a way how this could be problematic given they run illegal police stations across the globe to procecute dissidents and hold control over their population abroad.

Just like South Africa already does
