Car-mounted drones are evolving from niche functions to mass standard features

Just as Wang Chuanfu, Chairman and President of BYD Group, said at the press conference: “The cooperation between BYD and DJI is not as simple as putting a drone on a car. Instead, we designed and developed a whole vehicle integration system from 0 to 1, starting from the underlying technology. We have successfully achieved a deep integration of cars and drones, and ultimately achieved the effect of 1+1>2.” At the same time, BYD’s strong industrial capabilities have promoted the industrialization and large-scale development of intelligent vehicle-mounted drone systems.

BYD is the world's first automaker to mass-produce vehicle-mounted drones. With the release of Lingyuan, more users will experience the charm of this technology, allowing smart vehicle-mounted drone systems to gradually move from niche functions to mass standard features.

Luo Zhenhua, president of DJI Group, also stated at the press conference: "Technology is not about making toys for a few people, but should be a tool to benefit the world." It can be said that this time, the cooperation between BYD and DJI is not only an in-depth cooperation at the product level, but also a brand-new construction of the travel scene ecosystem.

From travel to film production, "Lingyuan" makes travel blockbusters within reach

The name "Lingyuan" represents BYD's intelligent vehicle-mounted drone system, which has both an eagle-like vision and agile and intelligent characteristics.

In the past, users who wanted to capture beautiful moments while traveling had to carry a lot of equipment; but often the beautiful moments were gone before they could even take out the camera; organizing and post-editing massive amounts of material was also a big, headache-inducing project.

Now, "Lingyuan" will easily solve all the above problems. Yang Dongsheng, senior vice president of BYD Group and dean of the Automotive New Technology Research Institute, introduced that the Lingyuan intelligent vehicle-mounted drone system has achieved four major advances: advanced architecture, advanced hardware, advanced algorithms, and advanced ecological openness. "Lingyuan" uses the world's first vehicle-mounted retractable apron solution, integrating multiple hardware such as vehicle-mounted drone positioning module, 4K high-definition roof camera, customized dual-mode handle, etc., which can not only realize dynamic take-off and landing, one-key return to the cabin, follow-up shooting, but also realize storage and fast charging. 30 sets of shooting templates and intelligent algorithms allow users to take pictures with one click without too much operation.

Even if you go out alone, you can still take great movies with the above functions. One person, one car, and one camera are equivalent to a film crew, and the user can become the director himself. From travel to filming, you can travel light and enjoy it as you like.
