We all know BYD’s supercar, the Yangwang U9, can jump and dance.
But it is evidently a bad idea to do that in public.
A Yangwang U9 owner found out the hard way in China.
We’re assuming he’s probably not going to try that again.

Was the show worth the ticket?
A Yangwang U9 owner in China wanted to impress the crowd on a public road showcasing the car’s ability to dance and jump.
The problem is he apparently kept the ‘show’ running for too long, and seemingly unnecessarily, which made the police behind him unhappy.
We’re also going to assume, and hope, he hadn’t spotted the police car behind him in the first place, otherwise he wouldn’t have tried.
The point is, these features are designed for emergencies only, not as a way to garner attention on a public road.
That’s certainly what the policeman behind the Yangwang U9 thought, because the supercar’s driver was pulled over and fined.
So the question is, was the show worth the ticket? Pun intended.
The reason why BYD’s supercar can dance and jump
BYD is growing atan incredibly fast rate.
In addition to shipping new cars like hot cakes, both electric and internal combustion, they’re also doing some interesting work from an engineering point of view.
In the last 24-48 months alone, BYD has unveiled the off-roader that can dive into water and even fully submerge, and a windshield-less supercar.
Then there’s the U9, which can dance and jump.
When it was first unveiled, people naturally thought that the fact that it can dance to specific beats was probably just a marketing stunt.
That’s definitely true, but it means it can also jump over potholes, and that is a potential game changer.
