This is amazing, we're slowly bringing on a future where we can have real-life Mario Kart! Seriously incredible engineering though!

[@TheElectricOracleChannel]

Thanks for your comment, Nick. Yeah, the Chinese are certainly bringing something special to the table. It will be interesting to see what they come out with next.

[@genx156]

So sometime soon the Councils won't bother fixing the Pot Holes because we'll all be driving Jumping cars 🤣🤣

[@TheElectricOracleChannel]

100%

[@KarlBro]

This is amazing, I still can't believe it can jump

[@TheElectricOracleChannel]

I know, right? The engineering behind it is out of this world.

[@iradoh1]

Some years ago Bose did the same thing. Project sound.

[@TheElectricOracleChannel]

Yeah, someone did mention that on my other video. Have you seen the footage?

[@dailyrd]

Gonna bring one in Italy in 2025.... We are almost there folks!!!!

[@TheElectricOracleChannel]

Oh really? How cool.

[@NGAC-r3e]

It’s actually the real Mac-5 and Speed behind the wheel.

[@TheElectricOracleChannel]

Can you expand on this?

[@NGAC-r3e]

@ Watch Speed Racer.

[@amgguy4319]

Mary Barra says GM is the EV leader! You should see their suspension . . .

[@TheElectricOracleChannel]

LOL, would love to :)

[@TheNorville2]

When can I buy one?

[@TheElectricOracleChannel]

You can buy them now, mate. The BYD Yangwang U9 electric supercar is currently officially available for purchase only in China1615. As of February 2025, Yangwang - BYD's luxury sub-brand - has not expanded sales of the U9 to international markets through official channels.

[@jameshersee169]

the landing really doesn't look smooth.. there's a lot of suspension travel. Cool looking car with a lot of tech but not really convinced.

[@TheElectricOracleChannel]

Thanks. yeah, I'm a fan of the look.

[@Fester_]

Light hearted. Rolls Royce smooth the pothole in a more Western fashion.

[@TheElectricOracleChannel]

They'll have a challenge in the UK. We've got a ton of potholes

[@myname686]

Audi, Mercedes have such active body controls for about a decade. At Mercedes ABC, and in Audi A8. Not that powerful to make jumps but can do all other stuff.

[@TheElectricOracleChannel]

Can you share some videos of these doing the same thing? Thanks

[@jetli740]

@@TheElectricOracleChannel i think it call "bose suspension"

[@myname686]

@@TheElectricOracleChannel those are serious engineering systems aimed to aid drivers. kzbin.info/www/bejne/naXWlHuQl5JrabM Mercedes is ABC Active body Control. Added note, as registered cars are not permitted to jump, these street cars don't have suspension motors augmentation powerful enough to jump (not that there would be any difficulty to make it so).

[@pleongv1]

@@jetli740this was a failure due to engineering unreliability issue. More like one trick pony

[@jetli740]

@ not failure but cost too much to implement so it only use on a very few car

[@HTOP1982]

I'm curious how it handles potholes on a corner, that if it jumps, it will go off the road

[@TheElectricOracleChannel]

I dont think this works while cornering.

[@jetli740]

you dont do 75km around corner

[@HTOP1982]

@jetli740 perhaps you don't. I do. And you don't need to be going at 75 for it to become an issue. I wonder what safeguards have been put in place.

[@HTOP1982]

@@TheElectricOracleChannel perhaps not, that is the only way I can see it having been implemented. It probably only works with a small amount of turn on the wheels. It's still super interesting to see when it trickles down to more common cars.

[@jetli740]

@ if you want it to jump at 75km while do cornering, welldone you just have won the Darwin Award .....

[@diraziz396]

Wondercar. Much respect to the Teams that made that work. Like Nissan's Godzilla team. sorry to say but China Grab every article known or published, this time they copied not only design lines but many lines of code and systems.all government supported and managed.

[@TheElectricOracleChannel]

Yup. Watch this space!

[@l.p.bilham9852]

Brave new world ...

[@TheElectricOracleChannel]

It really is. It's gonna be interesting.

[@utube9487]

It's not about a car doing al;l this, it's about reliability. The Japanese could do all of this 20 years ago. They went for reliability so in 10 years and 200, 000 miles, their cars still run like new. The true testament to Chinese cars will be 10 - 20 years from now and seeing how many are still on the road after 10-20 years.

[@Chandra355]

Big fat Zero

[@TheElectricOracleChannel]

Good point.

[@jetli740]

UK -20yrs ago have a nick name for japanese car...rust bucket

[@utube9487]

@ Damn if that's the case, what did you call Euro cars 20 years old there? Vaporware? In never existed?

[@jetli740]

@ you rarely find car reach 200k mile, it start get expensive to keep after 100k mile...thing start to go wrong too often..... i am from UK so i know

[@seanswilson]

Is this meant to be a serious USP, or is it just a gimmick like the Tesla's that fart, or the Mercedes and BYDs that turn on the spot? What happens if in the middle of jumping over a large pothole, a car goes into their lane. Not much chance of slowing the car down, when the wheels are off the ground. I suppose the other car will stop it!

Come on, at least $1

RUSTS IN 2 YEARS AWAY CAR

[@TheElectricOracleChannel]

Why more than any other car? genuinely interested.

[@kottuning3294]

Amazing from any manufacturer, almost unbelievable its from China. I wonder if it'll rust out like other BYD cars in 2 years LOL. Very impressive BYD

[@pleongv1]

Byd cars have been running for more than 10 years as taxi in China. Wake up from your American dream dude

[@TheElectricOracleChannel]

Oh really? Do they rust a lot?

[@TheElectricOracleChannel]

Are they the main cars used for Taxis in China?
