The Remote Driving Control technology is world leading and highly practical

The core users of the Su Rui are post-80s generation of consumers. They are at a transitional period in their lives. They expect their quality of life to improve dramatically. What they are purchasing is not just a car, but an expected way of life and enjoyment. The Su Rui was launched to satisfy just this sort of demand. It will give users a more intelligent lifestyle and a happier automobile experience. The BYD Su Rui is the only product of its class with Remote Driving Control technology. It means maximum enjoyment for the car owner when starting and stopping the car, all at the tip of a finger.

The Remote Driving Control technology allows many vehicle functions of the Su Rui to be performed remotely only by a key. Within a certain range and with the controller in his or her hands, the driver can make the car start, move forward and back, turn left and right, and travel at a restricted speed all by itself, without the driver even being in the vehicle. It is a perfect solution when the parking space is not wide enough for the driver to exit the car once parked. In windy and rainy weather, drivers can even remotely move the car to his or her side without getting wet. In the winter or summer, when the air conditioning is off, when turning on the motor remotely, you can also automatically start the air conditioning at the same time so that inside the car, it is warm in winter and cool in summer. The Remote Driving Control technology won Best Leading Science and Technology in the 2012 Beijing Auto Show. This is further confirmation of automotive innovation by BYD.
