- Hey everyone, this is Sean O'Kane from The Verge,

To-infinitive

and I'm about to drive the Byton M-Byte electric SUV.

The imperative

they're one of the many EV startups around the world,

that are trying to bring an electric vehicle

They're based in China and they basically made

at the Consumer Electronics Show in 2018,

where they showed off a concept version of this car.

Now they've spent the two years since then,

refining the car and getting it ready for mass manufacturing

and the version that I got to drive here today,

Now Byton's whole thing isn't about really crazy performance

or super high luxury, what they really are talking about

doing with their cars, is changing the whole paradigm

and a lot of people have been really worried

And I gotta say, just from spending a couple minutes

in the car, I can understand how you might be able

The screen is enormous, but it's sunken into the dashboard

and Byton's also done a lot of work on the software side,

to make sure that it's not so distracting.

that make up the user interface, for example.

And some things, like the news feed widget,

You also can't watch video while you're driving,

is the screen on the center of the wheel.

It was a little bright in the pre-production prototype

and I'm sure you'd be able to turn that brightness down

in the final version, but even if that's the case,

it's just right there in front of your vision.

There is another screen, coming off of the center console,

The weirdest thing about this whole experience

is that we've just never had this kind of experience before,

So it's hard to really get a sense of how all of this

is gonna play out, 'cause there's just so much going on

in this interior, in a way that no other car

all this technology is gonna have on people.

The whole pitch that Byton is trying to make

is that this technology will gain even more value,

so in the meantime, Byton's gonna have to do

a lot of work, as this car comes to market

later this year, in convincing people, and honestly,

just teaching them how to use this car, the right way.

that Byton's trying to sell as a new idea.

of health data integration, collecting a lot

and using advanced technologies like facial recognition.

So in that sense, trying to sell people on the idea

doesn't actually seem like that crazy of an idea.

And Byton's not the only one trying to convince people

A lot of automakers, both start ups and traditional OEMs,

are also moving in this direction of bigger screens.

It's gonna be up to, basically all of us.
