NEW 2021 Byton M-Byte, Performance

story that might, you might mutter, for a company like Byton whose cars are weak from 268-402 hp couldn't hope to beat Ludicrous's Tesla-mode-capable. No, what M-Byte actually has is in-car technology, giant interior screens and various connectivity partnerships, which Byton unveiled in detail at CES 2020.

The company's one-hour press conference ahead of CES 2020 where the fitting debut barely touched the surface of what info would be presented on the screen in the car. Some of the highlights include "office mode" which allows video conferencing with shared PowerPoint screens and works when the vehicle is not moving You only get audio on the move. The fitness screen developed in conjunction with Garmin can present data collected from passenger wearables and provide comparative fitness statistics for driver and passenger. The standard 20 driver assistance systems are said to provide much more interesting information than in a regular car, and of course the car can display sports scores, stock ticker info, top news items, etc.

A little more info was revealed about Byton's retail experience as well. Back in November 2019, licenses were granted to Byton Americas LLC, the company's North American distribution arm and to Byton Cars California, LLC, its first state retail outlet. According to Byton "The California dealer license will make it possible to sell and lease directly to BYTON customers in the state. In addition, this license will also make it possible to directly sell vehicles online to customers in other states." California will be the launch market, but the graph that appears on the screen shows four locations in California plus what looks like each might arrive later in Oregon, Washington, Texas, Florida, and New York.
