BYD unveiled new service packages on Thursday aimed at accelerating adoption of its \u201cGod\u2019s Eye\u201d assisted-driving platform as the company intensifies its push into autonomous driving amid slowing domestic demand and mounting competitive pressure.<\/p>\n

Chairman Wang Chuanfu said the automaker\u2019s long-term goal is to achieve \u201czero traffic accidents\u201d through intelligent driving technology.<\/p>\n

As part of the initiative, BYD said it will fully cover compensation and repair costs for accidents occurring while drivers are using its City Navigation assisted-driving feature, without increasing users\u2019 insurance premiums the following year.<\/p>\n

The move represents one of BYD\u2019s strongest attempts yet to build consumer confidence in advanced driver-assistance systems as Chinese automakers race to differentiate through AI-enabled driving technology.<\/p>\n

BYD also unveiled a new self-developed 4-nanometer automotive chip designed to support Level 3 and Level 4 autonomous driving capabilities.<\/p>\n

The company said some of its lower-cost vehicle models could be upgraded to the more advanced God\u2019s Eye B system for approximately 12,000 yuan ($1,770).<\/p>\n

Pressure mounts in China\u2019s EV market<\/h2>\n

The autonomous driving push comes as BYD faces growing challenges in China\u2019s domestic EV market<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The company recently posted its steepest quarterly profit decline since 2020 as aggressive pricing competition compressed margins across the industry.<\/p>\n

Its latest battery upgrade \u2014 the company\u2019s first major overhaul in six years \u2014 has so far failed to reverse slowing domestic sales momentum.<\/p>\n

China\u2019s electric vehicle market has become increasingly crowded, with local rivals accelerating the rollout of AI-based assisted-driving systems trained on large-scale real-world driving data.<\/p>\n

Xpeng, Nio, and Li Auto have all expanded autonomous driving capabilities aggressively over the past year.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Tesla is still awaiting full regulatory approval<\/a> to deploy its most advanced Full Self-Driving features in China.<\/p>\n

That delay has become increasingly important as Chinese automakers rapidly localise AI driving systems and integrate them into lower-cost models.<\/p>\n

BYD\u2019s European expansion accelerates<\/h2>\n

Even as profitability weakens domestically, BYD continues scaling aggressively overseas, particularly in Europe.<\/p>\n

The company registered 27,008 vehicles across Europe in April, more than doubling year-over-year.<\/p>\n

According to data from the European Automobile Manufacturers’ Association, BYD registered 50,646 vehicles in the European Union during the first quarter, a 169.7% increase from a year earlier.<\/p>\n

That lifted BYD\u2019s EU market share to 1.8%.<\/p>\n

Including the UK and EFTA markets, BYD delivered roughly 73,847 vehicles during the quarter, giving it a 2.1% market share compared with 0.9% a year earlier.<\/p>\n

By contrast, Tesla\u2019s European market share remains well below the levels it held before its recent slowdown.<\/p>\n

BYD\u2019s European strategy increasingly relies on leveraging higher overseas margins and rising export volumes to sustain pricing pressure abroad.<\/p>\n

The company exported 319,751 passenger vehicles and pickups during the quarter, up 65.2% year-over-year.<\/p>\n

It is also tailoring products specifically for European consumers.<\/p>\n

BYD recently introduced the Dolphin G DM-i, a model designed for European tastes and expected to launch in the UK later this year at a starting price below \u00a320,000.<\/p>\n
