Smart move for the company, but I won’t be saving my pennies to buy one.

It's cool that they are branching out and trying new things. Many manufacturers are across the board. Yamaha makes pianos and dirtbikes. Honda makes.. almost everything.
All jokes aside, I think Dahua has a quality control issue. The thought of them putting a device on the road that can literally kill people scares me. I know the initial market is China but it won't take long for them to start bringing these to the US.
Hopefully, if they ever try to come to the US, big brother will step in and make sure the cars are safe.

Actually we saw it yesterday in real life at the Dahua factory and it looked pretty neat, acceleration was pretty impressive too.
There wasn’t a brandname on the car yet, but the badgeplace was octagonal.

I'll not be ordering the optional reversing camera, sure the whole world doesn't have to witness what I'm about to reverse in to :-)

The only problem is that even when the car is locked, you can get in through the trunk.

New WSJ article on China electric car market. It highlights a big new domestic entrant, China's yet again unfair trade policies but does not mention Dahua's entry. Key quotes:

Update: Dahua/Leapmotor have announced their own autonomous driving AI chip:
That's a bold move, but with Dahua's track record, I am skeptical of how well it works and how much this is for show rather than actual usage.

Update: new China report on Dahua's Leap Motor includes wrist vein recognition to unlock doors & has face recognition in the rearview mirror:

Interesting! Some clever technology if it works, something needs to replace keyless entry on new cars - so easily overcome.
I wonder how the camera operates in pitch darkness, the thumbnail suggests its IR. How will the vein technology work in colder / rainy climates when people wear coats?
Car looks kind of o.k., kind of 70's / retro. panel gaps look tight. I guess the proof is in the pudding of what it is like under the skin.

Well if you are from Trieste it's better that you don't drive a car at all….take a tram, go by bus, sail a boat...bike
