According to a report released by 36kr, BYD has planned to comprehensively initiate the delivery of NOA (Navigate on Autopilot) intelligent driving for all its vehicle models in 2025. BYD is committed to promoting the widespread application of L2+ intelligent driving. Even the affordable models like the BYD Seagull, which is priced at 68,900 yuan (approximately $9,500), will be included in the deployment scope.

This automaker, headquartered in Shenzhen, holds a leading position in China's electric vehicle sales. However, it lags somewhat in software, ADAS (Advanced Driver - Assistance Systems), and intelligent driving functions. Nevertheless, in the past two years, BYD has significantly increased its investment in the automotive software field, and 2025 is expected to be a crucial year for its breakthrough.

Previously, BYD had cooperated with several ADAS suppliers such as DJI and Huawei. However, the advanced ADAS functions were only applied to some electric vehicle models. Now, according to the 36kr report, in 2025, BYD will install its self - developed ADAS algorithms across the entire vehicle lineup, covering everything from the budget - friendly BYD Seagull to the million - yuan Yangwang U8.

According to relevant reports, BYD's transformation in the software field began in September 2023 when it established the ADAS intelligent driving team. As of now, the team has grown to 1,300 members. In January 2024, BYD announced that it would invest 100 billion yuan (about $13.6 billion) in ADAS research and development.

BYD's ADAS team is focused on the research and development of urban intelligent driving (CNOA - City Navigate on Autopilot) and highway intelligent driving (HNOA - Highway Navigate of Autopilot).

The 36kr report points out that industry insiders did not anticipate BYD's such rapid progress in this area. If BYD can deliver the ADAS system in the first half of 2025 as planned, it will undoubtedly trigger a "blitzkrieg" in the market. According to suppliers interviewed by 36kr, they have recently received requests from other automakers for highway ADAS solutions for electric vehicles priced between 100,000 and 150,000 yuan ($13,600 - $20,500). However, the earliest delivery time is expected to be in 2026.

The price war that started in 2024 continues into 2025 with intense competition. However, there is a new change in the market competition pattern. It is no longer just a simple price competition and a race to the bottom. Instead, it has transformed into a competition centered around who can offer better ADAS configurations at a lower price.

36kr specifically emphasizes that information filed with the MIIT shows that BYD has equipped even its 100,000 - yuan - level electric vehicles with a 7/11 camera setup and front - facing three - eye vision cameras. The 7/11 camera setup means that the ADAS system uses a total of 11 cameras, with 7 of them being long - range cameras and the other 4 being wide - angle parking cameras. It is expected that BYD's vehicle sales will reach 5.5 million units in 2025. It is reported that BYD has ordered 1 million chips from Nvidia and Horizon Robotics.

Currently, BYD's ADAS system is divided into three categories:

  1. DiPilot 100: As an entry - level ADAS, it has a computing power of 100 TOPS and basic NOA functions. Its power is usually provided by Nvidia's Drive N Orin chip or Horizon Robotics' Journey 5 chip.
  2. DiPilot 300: This is a mid - level ADAS that supports HNOA semi - autonomous highway driving. It is equipped with a single lidar and an Nvidia Orin X chip, with a computing power of 300 TOPS.
  3. DiPilot 600: As a high - end ADAS, it supports both HNOA and CNOA urban driving functions. It is equipped with multiple lidars, has L3 - level driving capabilities, and a computing power of 508 TOPS, which is driven by two Nvidia Orin X chips.

In 2025, BYD plans to launch advanced ADAS versions of the BYD Seagull and other electric vehicles. By the end of the year, the goal is to enable the entire vehicle lineup to possess a certain degree of intelligent driving functions.

According to the view of a manager from a leading intelligent driving company cited by 36kr, in 2024, urban intelligent driving functions were mainly applied to electric vehicles with an average selling price of over 200,000 yuan ($27,300). In 2025, the urban NOA function will become a standard configuration for electric vehicles priced at 150,000 yuan ($20,500). By 2026, this function will be standard for 100,000 - yuan electric vehicles. The report also infers that in 2025, the highway NOA function will be installed on 100,000 - yuan ($13,600) - level electric vehicles.
