BYD develops AI system that detects people and animals under parked cars

The system can detect animals under a parked vehicle. REPRESENTATION PIC/ISTOCK

Carmaker BYD has developed a AI-based system to check the vehicle's underside. When the car is switched off, the system captures an image of the underbody. Before moving, new images are taken and compared.

The patented system is designed to ignore elements that remain unchanged from one scan to the next. It then assess the detected subject's condition or status before deciding whether further action or a safety warning is required.
