BYD released the new “God’s Eye” driving assistance system
BYD held the launch ceremony of its latest “God’s Eye” driving assistance system. According to the company’s representatives, this update will allow every BYD car to be equipped with high-end intelligent driving technology, including a BYD Seagull hatchback with a price tag of 69,800 yuan (9,550 USD). The God’s Eye ADAS will be available in three variants with up to three LiDAR sensors.
Previously, BYD vehicles were criticized in China for their intelligent driving system as they lagged behind some advanced startups. On February 10, BYD released the latest “God’s Eye” intelligent driving system, available in three core variants.
The BYD Chairman Wang Chuanfu underlined that BYD has the largest car cloud database in China. He claimed that BYD currently has 110,000 engineers, and 5,000 of them are intelligent driving R&D engineers. In 2024, BYD’s ADAS training mileage was 72 million km per day. These factors helped BYD to develop the next-gen “God’s Eye” system. The BYD Chairman highlighted that in the next 2 to 3 years, intelligent driving will become an indispensable configuration for buying a car.

revealed that the “God’s Eye” ADAS system has three intelligent driving classifications. The entry-level system is called “God’s Eye C”. It relies on a three-camera cluster sitting behind the windshield. As the entry-level tier ADAS system, the “God’s Eye C” will be adopted by cars under the BYD brand. This perception system will be powered by the DiPilot 100 system with a peak computing power of 100 TOPS.
Other hardware elements of the “God’s Eye C” include 12 cameras, 5 mm-wave radars, and 12 ultrasonic radars. Those 12 cameras consist of 3 front-view cameras, 5 panoramic cameras, and 4 surround-view cameras. Five mm-wave radars provide 360-degree non-dead angle perception, the front radar has a detection distance of 300 meters. The accuracy of the 12 ultrasonic radar sensors is 1 cm, and the parking accuracy is 2 cm
The brand’s second ADAS system is called “God’s Eye B”. It provides a LiDAR sensor to enhance the perception of cars’ driving assistance system. It will power Denza and Fang Cheng Bao cars. Moreover, some flagship vehicles under the BYD brand will also adopt the “God’s Eye B”. This combination is powered by a DiPilot 300 system with a computing power of 300 TOPS.
The top-tier BYD’s autopilot system is called “God’s Eye A”. It adopts three LiDARs powered by the DiPilot 600 system with the computing power of 600 TOPS. This system will power vehicles under BYD’s luxury brand Yangwang.
More about BYD’s ADAS system
Wang Chuanfu announced that all BYD models will be equipped with “God’s Eye” intelligent driving system, including BYD Seagull, BYD Qin Plus DM-i, and BYD Seal 05 DM-i models with a price tag below 100,000 yuan (13,690 USD). Every BYD car with the new driving assistance system will have Xuanji architecture with “one brain, two ends, three networks, and four chains”. It means each car has a central processor, cloud AI, vehicle-side AI, Internet of Vehicles, 5G network, satellite network, sensors chain, control chain, data chain, and mechanical chain.
In addition, BYD’s Xuanji architecture will be connected to the Deepseek R1 large model to improve the AI capabilities of the vehicle and the cloud. The “God’s Eye A” and “God’s Eye B” systems support the NOA (navigation of a map) function in cities and highways. The “God’s Eye C” system currently supports only high-speed NOA. However, the entry-level system is expected to support the city NOA function in the long term via OTA update.
As icing on the cake, the BYD Chairman showed a video of the Yangwang U9 supercar equipped with the God’s Eye A system driving on a racing track while being unmanned.
