On May 28, 2026, BYD held a press conference on its "Dare to Do" intelligent strategy. After providing a safety guarantee for intelligent parking, BYD once again takes the lead in committing to providing a one-year safety guarantee for urban navigation, and announces the creation of an era of national urban navigation, allowing everyone to enjoy good technology and feel at ease!
BYD Chairman Wang Chuanfu said, "In the first half of electrification, we look at batteries, and in the second half of intelligence, we look at chips." After 24 years of deep cultivation in chips, BYD launched China's first 4nm process intelligent driving chip - Xuanji A3- at this press conference, accelerating the second half of the intelligent process and leading the global automotive industry's intelligent transformation.
Starting from the real needs of people, BYD sets three major goals for intelligent second half
In the past few years, the world has ushered in a new wave of artificial intelligence development, with the development speed of perception hardware and chips exceeding imagination. These have driven cars to evolve from simple transportation tools to intelligent life forms that can actively think. Starting from the real needs of people, BYD has set three major goals for the second half of automotive intelligence: achieving "zero traffic accidents", making assisted driving a "super driver", and making AI a "super secretary". BYD will continue to invest over 100 billion yuan in research and development funds to address traffic safety issues and enhance human well-being.
BYD pioneers the era of national urban leadership, taking the lead in committing to providing a safety guarantee for urban leadership
In February 2025, BYD launched its "National Intelligent Driving" strategy and announced that all models will come standard with the Eye of the Sky assisted driving system. At this press conference, BYD adheres to the concept of "making good technology accessible to everyone" and announces the creation of an era of national urban leadership: all models in the series can be equipped with the Eye of the Sky B assisted driving laser version, with an optional price of 12000 yuan. In addition, the functionality of the Eye of Heaven C is about to undergo a major upgrade and is expected to be available for OTA in December of this year.
After the launch of the intelligent parking safety net in July last year, the usage rate of the Tenjin Eye intelligent parking function has increased from 21% at the beginning to 93% now, and the accident rate of intelligent parking is almost zero. Based on confidence in the technology of the Eye of Heaven and a responsible attitude towards consumers, BYD once again promises to provide a safety guarantee for city navigation: within one year from today, new users of the Eye of Heaven A and Eye of Heaven B can enjoy a one-year city navigation guarantee from the date of self pickup, and old car owners can upgrade their OTA to Eye of Heaven 5.0. When users use the city navigation function in compliance, if a responsible traffic accident occurs, the direct economic losses (including vehicle maintenance costs, third-party property losses, and personal injury losses) that should be borne by the vehicle will be directly compensated by BYD.
Compared to the common smart driving insurance in the industry, BYD's City Navigator provides free and unlimited coverage, and will not affect the commercial insurance premium for the following year. Since then, BYD has become a "double bottom line" enterprise for urban navigation and intelligent parking safety, using practical actions to truly integrate assisted driving into users' daily travel and life, allowing users to gain a safe experience.
BYD's confidence in technology comes from three unique advantages of the Eye of Heaven: firstly, its scale advantage. BYD has over 3.15 million assisted driving models, leading Chinese car companies; Secondly, there is the advantage of data. The Eye of the Sky generates over 200 million kilometers of data every day, leading Chinese car companies; Finally, there is the advantage in research and development. The assisted driving R&D team has over 5000 engineers, and the team size is leading among Chinese car companies.
Adhere to safety as the core, BYD's vehicle intelligence evolves again
As the industry's first intelligent assisted driving system for vehicles, the Eye of Heaven has undergone four major upgrades this time: in terms of architecture, it has been upgraded to Xuanji Architecture 2.0, equipped with a central brain that integrates cockpit driving and electronics; In terms of sensors, the industry pioneered satellite architecture; In terms of algorithms, upgrade to a physical AI big model; In terms of data, based on BYD's largest data base in the industry, massive amounts of data can be fully utilized and activated to maximize their value, allowing the intelligent driving model to iterate quickly, making it easier and more secure to use.
In addition, the newly released BYD super intelligent agent "Didi Shrimp" empowers DiLink AI intelligent cockpit with three core capabilities of "chatting, making decisions, and playing". At the same time, exclusive customized, super interesting, and evolving BYD exclusive digital images are gathered on the car, and human interaction is fully evolved to provide users with active services in all scenarios.
In the era of advanced autonomous driving that is just around the corner, BYD will launch the Eye of Heaven autonomous driving version (L3/L4), which not only has ten layers of redundancy in the platform architecture, but also the world's first over 1000 line LiDAR, flash camera, and dual far-infrared camera, making the safety and experience of autonomous driving exceed the extreme and unprecedented.
After 24 years of accumulation, BYD has developed China's first 4nm process intelligent driving chip
In the first half of electrification, we look at batteries, and in the second half of intelligence, we look at chips. At this press conference, BYD released China's first 4nm process intelligent driving chip - Xuanji A3, which has started large-scale production and supports L3 and L4 autonomous driving. Through the efficient collaboration of the three chips, it achieves a total power of over 2100 TOPS, while balancing power consumption control and computing power utilization. As China's first self-developed 4nm intelligent driving chip, it represents the highest level of intelligent driving chips in China: vehicle grade 4nm, not only with the most advanced process, but also the industry leader; And the unit computing power consumption is the lowest, 20% lower than products in the same class. The Xuanji A3 can be combined with BYD's self-developed algorithm for deep optimization, increasing the utilization rate of computing power by 100%, making the response of assisted driving faster, the ability to handle complex problems stronger, and the safety upper limit higher.
As early as 2002, BYD established its own chip team - IC Design Department, which was the predecessor of BYD Semiconductor. For the past 24 years, BYD has been laying out chips and has been working hard for a long time. It has successively achieved the earliest mass production and installation of automotive grade IGBT and SiC power chip technology in China, and has won the National Science and Technology Progress Award twice. Up to now, BYD has launched over 2000 chip products, which are applied in five major fields: smart cars, consumer electronics, household appliances, industrial equipment, and photovoltaic energy storage. In the more stringent automotive regulatory field, BYD has become the largest chip company in China, covering 13 major categories and 567 chip products, widely used in 46 domestic and foreign automotive brands.
The reason why BYD is able to launch the Xuanji A3 lies in its R&D confidence: currently, BYD's chip R&D team exceeds 7000 people, with a cumulative investment of over 100 billion yuan, and has 4 major R&D bases and 5 wafer manufacturing factories. Among them, the Chengdu factory is the largest 12 inch wafer factory in China, specializing in automotive grade. When it comes to the chip manufacturing process, BYD fully covers the seven steps of product definition, architecture design, circuit design, layout design, wafer manufacturing, packaging, and testing. It is the only automotive company in the world with full process and full chain manufacturing capabilities for chips.
BYD continues to use technology to change the world. In the first half of electrification, BYD used second-generation blade batteries and flash charging technology to overcome the global challenges of "slow charging" and "difficult low-temperature charging"; In the second half of intelligentization, BYD is committed to achieving the goal of "zero traffic accidents": it will continuously refresh the upper limit of assisted driving capabilities with the Eye of Heaven, give users confidence in using assisted driving with a backstop, layout future intelligent car experiences with high computing power intelligent driving chips, and safeguard the driving safety of every user with its strength. BYD Chairman Wang Chuanfu said, "The true 'dare to do' is never fearless, but a reverence for life, rules, and technology, knowing the difficulties and doing them, always doing the right things, daring to be the first, and moving forward all the way
