BYD Launches Advanced Driver Assistance System, “God’s Eye”

BYD, a leading Chinese manufacturer of electric vehicles, has introduced a new advanced driver assistance system (ADAS) called “God’s Eye.” This system will be integrated across the company’s complete range of vehicles.

Notably, this includes the affordable $9,600 Seagull hatchback. The unveiling signifies a major step towards accessible autonomous driving features.

Democratizing Autonomous Driving

During a live-streamed event on Monday, BYD founder Wang Chuanfu stated that the automotive industry is transitioning into a period where autonomous driving capabilities become widely available. This sentiment, as reported by The Financial Times, highlights the company’s vision.

“God’s Eye” delivers automated driving functionalities that were previously exclusive to high-end electric vehicles.

Key Features of “God’s Eye”

The system provides features such as remote parking controlled through a smartphone application. It also enables autonomous navigation on highways.

These capabilities represent a significant advancement in driver assistance technology for a broader consumer base.

Competition with Tesla and AI Integration

BYD currently stands as Tesla’s primary competitor within the Chinese automotive market, which is Tesla’s second-largest globally.

The launch of “God’s Eye” occurs as Tesla seeks regulatory approval from Beijing to implement its “Full Self-Driving” technology within China.

Collaboration with DeepSeek AI

Furthermore, BYD has joined forces with other domestic automakers, including Geely, Great Wall Motor, and Leapmotor.

This collaboration involves integrating artificial intelligence (AI) developed by the Chinese AI startup, DeepSeek, into their respective vehicle systems.

• This integration aims to enhance the intelligence and functionality of their vehicles.
