Positioning

BYD (Shenzhen, China; HK/Shenzhen listed) is the world's largest NEV maker and is deploying its in-house 'God's Eye' assisted-driving suite across its entire lineup, from the ~$9,600 Seagull up. By end-2025 more than 2.3 million China vehicles carried God's Eye, and in Jan-26 it launched God's Eye 5.0 (RL-based, end-to-end); it has also unveiled the Xuanji A3, described as China's first 4nm smart-driving chip supporting L3/L4. The distinguishing point is mass-market democratization of ADAS at unprecedented scale; the open question is real autonomy level (still L2 assisted-driving in practice) versus marketing.
