BYD explained that this is possible thanks to the advanced Disus-X, which the Chinese automaker claims to be the most advanced vehicle body control system.
Based on BYD's official Twitter video, the new Disus-X can make the YangWang U9 EV supercar dance and jump, similar to the lowriders in the mid-to-late 1940s.
BYD said they tested the new Disus-X system for 30 months, conducting six million miles of endurance testing.
Aside from jumping and dancing, the new YangWang U9 can continue driving even if it misses one of its wheels.
"Even if one wheel was taken off, the vehicle equipped with DiSus-X still showcased its ability to dance, jump and drive," said BYD via its official Twitter post.
This capability is also made possible by the Disus-X system. Driving on three wheels is quite handy, especially during wheel accidents.
