China's BYD Steps up Assisted-Driving Push
BYD said the chip is already in mass production and can raise computing power utilization by 100% in its in-house driving system.
- On Thursday, Chief Executive Officer Wang Chuanfu unveiled the Xuanji A3, China's first self-developed 4nm assisted-driving chip supporting Level 3 and Level 4 autonomous driving capabilities.
- Facing eight months of falling sales and a 55% profit decline, BYD is pivoting toward intelligent-driving technology to shift the competitive battleground from price to advanced capabilities.
- Built entirely in-house, the Xuanji A3 chip delivers 700 TOPS of computing power; a three-chip cluster exceeds 2,100 TOPS, unifying the smart cockpit, driver-assistance system, and propulsion.
- BYD is expanding its 'God's Eye' system to mass-market vehicles like the Seagull, offering the add-on for 12,000 yuan with one year of insurance covering accident damages.
- Competition from Huawei-backed rivals and Tesla remains intense as BYD waits for China to formalize consumer-facing self-driving legislation, which the company expects by 2027.
