Under this new program, BYD stated that users of its God's Eye A, God's Eye B, and God's Eye 5.0 driver assistance systems will be covered for one year if an accident occurs while using the urban navigation function in compliance with the system's rules.

Compensation will cover direct economic losses sustained by the vehicle, including repair costs, third-party property damage, and legal liability for personal injuries, according to the company.

Unlike typical driver assistance insurance products on the market, BYD stated its insurance program will be free, have no compensation limit, and will not affect users' future insurance premiums.

This move comes as Chinese automakers intensify competition in driver assistance technology and accelerate the integration of intelligent driving systems into lower-priced, mass-market vehicles.

Industry analysts noted that BYD's direct compensation decision reflects a growing focus on consumer trust and safety responsibility as driver assistance systems become more widely adopted.

BYD stated that the usage rate of its smart parking function increased from 21% to 93% after the company introduced a similar safety assurance policy in 2025, with the accident rate remaining near zero.

While BYD does not yet offer fully autonomous driving technology, it plans to expand semi-autonomous driver assistance systems across all its models in China.

BYD announced that all models will be available with the laser-based God's Eye B driver assistance system as a 12,000 yuan (USD 1,670) option, part of the company's broader effort to expand driver assistance system adoption.

The company also launched China's first self-developed 4 nm autonomous driving chip, named Xuanji A3, which provides over 2,100 TOPS of combined computing power through a three-chip architecture.

BYD Chairman Wang Chuanfu stated that the company aims to continue investing in intelligent driving technologies with the long-term goal of reducing traffic accidents and improving road safety.

BYD equipped the God's Eye system as a standard feature on most of its models in 2025. However, the initial phase was based on a tiered structure, with more affordable models only featuring basic highway cruise control, while advanced urban navigation was exclusive to pricier models.
