BYD Unveils XUANJI A3 and Expands Intelligent Driving Capabilities with New Coverage Program

BYD has introduced a new suite of intelligent mobility technologies during its Intelligence Strategy Launch Event held on May 28. The company revealed the XUANJI A3 platform, described as China’s first 4nm automotive Driving SoC, alongside enhancements to the God’s Eye Intelligent Driving System and a new super intelligent agent named “DiDi Xia.” The announcements highlight BYD’s continued focus on advancing intelligent driving, cockpit intelligence, and autonomous mobility technologies through large-scale research and development investments.

During the event, BYD also announced a one-year Full Damage Coverage guarantee for its City Navigate on Autopilot (NOA) function. The move makes the company the first automaker to provide coverage support for both City NOA and Intelligent Parking functions. The guarantee is available to new buyers of God’s Eye-A and God’s Eye-B vehicles as well as existing owners who upgrade to God’s Eye 5.0 through over-the-air software updates.

Under the coverage program, BYD stated that if a legally liable accident occurs while the City NOA function is being used in compliance with applicable regulations, the company will directly compensate resulting economic losses. Coverage includes vehicle repair expenses, third-party property damage, and personal injury compensation. Unlike conventional intelligent driving insurance products, the Full Damage Coverage program is provided at no additional cost, has no compensation limit, and does not impact a customer’s commercial insurance premiums in the following year.

BYD also outlined its long-term vision for intelligent driving technology through three strategic goals:

• Achieve Zero Traffic Accidents
• Enable ADAS systems to function as a Super Driver
• Transform AI into a Super Personal Assistant

To support these ambitions, the company confirmed plans to continue investing more than CNY 100 billion in research and development activities focused on intelligent mobility technologies.

The newly unveiled XUANJI A3 platform has already entered mass production. Supporting both L3 and L4 autonomous driving applications, the architecture can utilize a three-chip configuration capable of delivering more than 2,100 TOPS of computing power per vehicle. Combined with BYD’s proprietary algorithms, the platform is designed to double computing utilization, improve response times, strengthen processing capabilities in complex driving environments, and enhance the overall safety performance of intelligent driving assistance systems.

The God’s Eye Intelligent Driving System has also received four major upgrades covering architecture, sensing, algorithms, and data capabilities.

Key Upgrades Introduced in the God’s Eye Intelligent Driving System

In addition to these enhancements, BYD announced that customers across its vehicle portfolio can now optionally equip vehicles with the God’s Eye-B Intelligent Driving System LiDAR Version for an option price of CNY 12,000. The company also confirmed that the God’s Eye-C system will receive a significant over-the-air software update in December 2026.

Looking ahead, BYD plans to introduce the God’s Eye Autonomous Driving Version supporting L3 and L4 capabilities. The future system is expected to feature an ultra-high-resolution LiDAR exceeding 1,000 channels, high-speed snapshot cameras, and dual far-infrared cameras to further improve environmental perception and autonomous driving performance.

Within the cockpit domain, BYD unveiled its new super intelligent agent, DiDi Xia, which powers the DiLink AI Intelligent Cockpit. Built around an open ecosystem strategy, the platform is designed to provide compatibility across smartphone ecosystems and emerging agent-based ecosystems. Supported capabilities include whole-cabin memory functions, vague semantic understanding, and complex intent deconstruction, enabling more advanced human-machine interaction experiences.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the XUANJI A3 introduced by BYD?
The XUANJI A3 is China’s first 4nm automotive Driving SoC unveiled by BYD for advanced intelligent driving applications. The platform has already entered mass production and supports both L3 and L4 autonomous driving capabilities. Using a three-chip configuration, it can provide more than 2,100 TOPS of computing power per vehicle.
