With the rapid advancement of smart technologies, intelligent driving is gradually becoming a crucial competitive edge in the future automotive industry. BYD’s “Tian Shen Zhi Yan” technology is igniting a new revolution in this field. This intelligent driving system not only makes smart driving accessible across all BYD models but also breaks the luxury brands’ monopoly on intelligent driving, marking a significant breakthrough for Chinese automakers in the global intelligent driving arena. Does this mean that the era of intelligent driving is fully upon us?
Universal Access: Breaking Down the Barriers of Luxury Cars
One of the standout features of BYD’s “God’s Eye” system is that it can be selected across the entire lineup. Whether it’s the entry-level Seagull Intelligent Driving Edition (starting at just 78,800 RMB) or the high-end DiPilot 600 system models, consumers can enjoy advanced smart driving functions. This not only brings smart driving technology from high-end models to mass-market vehicles, but also makes this cutting-edge technology no longer exclusive to luxury car brands, effectively breaking the previous high-end barriers of smart driving. BYD’s initiative transforms smart driving into a widespread technology, having a profound impact on the entire automotive market.
Three major versions: fully meet diverse needs
The “Eye of the God” technology system offers three versions based on the model’s requirements: Version A (DiPilot 100), Version B (DiPilot 300), and Version C (DiPilot 600). Each version is optimized for different driving needs. Version A is designed for entry-level models, providing basic driver assistance features like lane keeping and emergency braking. Version B is tailored for mid-to-high-end models, incorporating perception devices such as lidar, enabling advanced features like automatic lane changing and adaptive cruise control. As the top-tier version, Version C is equipped with triple lidar, supporting fully autonomous driving and smart parking, delivering the ultimate driving experience for high-end models.
Advanced hardware and algorithms: precise identification and security assurance
One of the standout features of the “Heavenly Eye” system is its powerful hardware configuration and intelligent algorithms. The system is equipped with high-definition cameras, millimeter-wave radar, and lidar, providing vehicles with 360-degree comprehensive perception capabilities that enable precise road recognition and environmental judgment. These hardware components, combined with BYD’s self-developed intelligent algorithms, allow the system to perform operations like autonomous driving and hazard prediction, significantly enhancing driving safety. According to BYD’s publicly available data, the recognition accuracy of the “Heavenly Eye” technology reaches 99.7%, capable of handling over 50 different driving scenarios, demonstrating its impressive technical prowess.
Hong Kong Market: Surge in Demand for Smart Driving
BYD’s “Tian Shen Zhi Yan” technology has garnered significant attention in the Hong Kong market. As local consumers’ demand for smart driving technology continues to rise, BYD’s smart driving system quickly became a standout feature in the market. According to market reports, BYD’s sales in Hong Kong surged by 38% in the first quarter of 2024, making it one of the most popular electric vehicle brands in the region. With the spread of smart driving technology, more and more consumers in Hong Kong are opting for BYD models equipped with “Tian Shen Zhi Yan,” undoubtedly accelerating the adoption of smart driving in the Hong Kong market.
Stock Market Reaction: Investor Confidence Soars
BYD’s innovations in the field of smart driving have received high recognition from investors. Investment banks like UBS and Citigroup have raised their target stock prices for BYD, expressing optimism about its future development potential in smart driving technology. UBS has increased the target price for BYD’s H-shares from HKD 327 to HKD 450, while Citigroup has raised its target price from HKD 500 to HKD 688. These adjustments reflect strong market confidence in BYD’s future growth and highlight its leading position in the smart driving sector. BYD’s stock price also surged significantly at the start of 2025, with an 18% increase, indicating investors’ high expectations for its future growth potential.
The launch of the “Eye of God” technology undoubtedly marks the acceleration phase of the popularization of smart driving technology. BYD has not only broken the monopoly of high-end models on smart driving but has also made this technology accessible across its entire lineup, allowing more consumers to experience the convenience and safety of smart driving. As BYD increasingly invests in the field of intelligence, the future automotive market will not just be a competition between fuel vehicles and electric vehicles, but rather a comprehensive showdown of smart driving technologies. In this competition, BYD is set to become a significant leader.
