Imagine yourself at the wheel of your electric car, but also, at the same time, in control of a drone that films the road ahead and all around you. That’s what China’s mighty BYD automotive group has in mind, with plans to integrate an automatic drone system into its future top-of-the-range models.

The automaker caused a sensation at BYD Dream Day 2024, a major conference showcasing the group's latest innovations. Its partnership with drone specialist DJI has resulted in the very first system to be integrated directly into a car.
