BYD has released a new video of its Yangwang U9 supercar jumping 6 meters forward over a pothole using its "jumping suspension" feature.

i'm begging y'all to understand that this can be animated, CG you should treat videos like this coming out of china with a grain of salt
Can't wait for their new TV show: "The Cadres from Chengdu" with a Chinese flag painted on top and hitting sick jumps to evade the corrupt local police to bring local oligarchs to justice.
The Yangwang U9's suspension system, known as DiSus-X, enables the car to perform a "jump" through its advanced active suspension technology. Here's how it works: 👇🏼 Active Suspension Control: The DiSus-X system uses a combination of hydraulic and electronic controls to manage

The editors need to watch more skate videos so they can learn how to make fewer cuts and actually show the audience what the hell is happening
Wow that's a cool feature, but will really require unrealistic speed to achieve something useful in real life. SpaceX package on Roadster 2 will beat this without unrealistic speed.
That's it, if the Roadster can't jump 12 meters with SpaceX rocket thrusters I'm not going through with my reservation. Oh, I don't have a reservation, put down $50K? Anyone spare some change?
I remember seeing this on the show "Beyond 2000" when the year 2000 was in the future. Not for jumping over giant holes in the road, but it applied pressure to the wheel/suspension before hitting the pothole and lifted just enough to eliminate the impact.
Lots of crap talk against BYD here, but you know what? You can actually buy the U9 (in China), whereas I'm still sitting on a 7 year long Roadster reservation with no end in sight. Kudos to BYD for delivering.
Dang it!!! It was just yesterday that I was dreaming of having this feature in my X. U see, I was driving down the interstate and there was this 5.8 meter crater exactly in the middle of my lane in the road where a big sink hole had formed. “If only I could jump easily over

I have discussed similar features with a full “by wire” control of all four contact patches (drive, brake, steer, suspension). With all this the car could literally leap to the side. Sudden suspension downforce could generate extreme grip for evasive steering. Each wheel can

very interesting and little puzzling i wonder what is the min/max speed for jumping work... if you go too fast, camera/cpu wont be fast nut to recognize and jump if you go too slow, will jump even work? may be good product for 3rd world countries with bad roads...but in US, not

I need this for the potholes my government won’t fix
Funny, I once imagined a sensor on cars that retracts the suspension milliseconds before hitting an obstacle. Imagine hitting a speed bump at 130 km/h, and the wheels lift 10 cm just in time. 🛞✨"
Finally, a supercar for corrupt officials who stole the money for fixing busted roads.
Shop performance suspension built for drag, drift, show, street, or track. 🏁 Since 2005, we've been the trusted source for enthusiasts like you. 💯
BYD U9 can jump over potholes. U8 can swim across rivers. Meanwhile Tesla squandered five years on a hideous and defective Cybertruck that they can't sell in volume.
Very useful and not dangerous at high speed to lift off the ground.
Tesla haters will say supervised FSD is dangerous but not a car going airborne on a street at 100 MPH
OK...read a few comments and didn't see my answer. Does the car notice the pothole and jump or is it up to the driver to use his ninja like skills to press the button at just the right time?
Pretty cool but in a world that changes as fast as it does it's hard to course correct when there's nothing touching the ground.
I think if I asked my coworker if they wanted to go for a ride in my Yangwang I’d get a call to HR
I could do with something that jumps and hovers for about 20 metres 😅 Great looking car, but you can see where they’ve taken inspiration from others.
This is pretty cool, straight out of science fiction, but in reality this car would spend more time in the air than on the ground in areas around my home.😂
Cool. Did they figure out how to make working brakes and how to keep them from spontaneously combusting?
A lot of BYDs in Thailand, but this car would never touch the ground if it was trying to avoid bad road conditions. 🤭
It’s cool, but I think that in order for this to happen, you need to go at high speed. And with all the patholes around, not practical.
this is what I call market dynamic. 👍👍 It's great to see that the competition is not giving up!
