BEIJING - BYD will enable advanced driver-assistance features in almost all future models at no additional cost to buyers as part of a bid to challenge Tesla and domestic rivals in China's cut-throat electric vehicle market.
The manufacturer will make its God's Eye driver-assistance system standard in vehicles priced from 100,000 yuan (S$18,500) in China and include it in several lower-cost models such as the popular Seagull hatchback. BYD also plans to integrate software from DeepSeek, the Chinese start-up that stunned markets with its open-source AI model, it said on Feb 10, without specifying when that would happen.
