BYD has unveiled its latest intelligent driving features, highlighting advancements in autonomous technology as China continues to lead the smart vehicle revolution
Chinese electric vehicle manufacturer BYD showcased its latest intelligent driving features at an event held at its headquarters in Shenzhen.
The company demonstrated how its vehicles can autonomously navigate obstacles, execute smooth lane changes, and park remotely, all while maintaining safety and efficiency.
These advanced capabilities are not exclusive to luxury models—BYD’s entry-level vehicles also feature L2-level autonomous driving, making the technology accessible to a wider market.
BYD announced plans to ramp up production of L2-equipped vehicles to 4.4 million units by the end of 2025, representing a 70% increase from the previous year.
Meanwhile, an increasing number of Chinese automakers, including Geely and GAC, are integrating AI models like DeepSeek into their vehicles. Researchers highlight that the adoption of large AI models can significantly enhance the user experience by improving vehicle responsiveness to driver commands.
According to the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, L2 autonomous vehicle penetration in China had already reached 55.7% in the first half of 2024. This figure is projected to exceed 65% in 2025, further cementing China’s position as a global leader in smart driving technology.
