BYTON, the premium intelligent electric vehicle brand, today revealed new details about its first production model, the M-Byte SUV, at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) 2019 in Las Vegas. Positioned as the next generation smart device, BYTON is designed for the future of autonomous driving when the automobile will become a mobile digital lounge.
“BYTON’s M-Byte represents the transformation of the traditional car into a next-generation smart device for every user,” said Dr. Carsten Breitfeld, CEO and Co-founder of BYTON. “We achieve this through the combination our state-of-the-art EV platform and our proprietary BYTON Life digital ecosystem.”
A Digital Cockpit
That Improves the In-Car Experience
BYTON’s Shared
Experience Display (SED) remains the world’s largest in-car display for a
production automobile. It displays vehicle and driving information and offers
various content options in an intuitive way. The position of the display has
been carefully developed and tested to not affect driver line-of-sight and can
automatically adjust brightness according to changes in ambient lighting to
avoid further distraction. In addition, the SED will meet automotive safety
standards as well as crash standards in all target markets.
The production BYTON M-Byte’s user-interface and user experience (UI/UX) hardware will feature abundant shared and private screen space to capture and display a wide array of digital content – navigation, music, videos, photos, files, contacts, and more – intuitively and safely to users in any seat:
Enhanced User
Experience and Personalized Mobility
BYTON users will have
access to BYTON Life, an open digital ecosystem that connects applications,
data, and smart devices. BYTON Life features advanced machine-learning
capabilities that analyze the user’s schedule, location, preferences, and
application data to provide intuitive support such as scheduling reminders,
online shopping tasks, remote charging management, and more. It can recognize
voices of different users and sounds from different directions in the car.
In North American and European markets, BYTON has been cooperating with Amazon Alexa to jointly develop voice control. In addition, BYTON has also invited software developers from around the world to join BYTON’s ecosystem and explore new possibilities for applications and content on BYTON Life’s open platform.
Full-Scale Vehicle
Testing Ahead of Production
“We have made solid
progress in the construction of our Nanjing plant and prototype vehicle
testing,” said Dr. Daniel Kirchert, President and Co-Founder of BYTON. “This is
a vital year for BYTON and our global team is sparing no efforts to achieve our
goal of volume production.”
The production version of the BYTON M-Byte is slated to debut in mid-2019, with mass-production starting at the end of the year. To achieve this, vehicle testing under real-world conditions continues in order to achieve the highest safety and quality standards of China, the US, and Europe. Meanwhile, construction at BYTON’s Nanjing plant is on-track and will be equipped with cutting-edge production equipment from leading global partners such as AIDA Engineering of Japan, and KUKA and DÜRR of Germany. The company is also working with key strategic investors FAW and CATL, and world-class suppliers Bosch, BOE, and Faurecia to integrate the world’s best technologies and resources into its products.
