The media company Dongchedi conducted a large-scale test of advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS), simulating scenarios like encountering obstacles, high-speed highway driving, and urban navigation.
Dongchedi (DCar) is a Chinese automotive information, trading, and service platform with approximately 35.7 million monthly active users. The platform offers a variety of services, including car searches, new and used car listings, and various information resources. Dongchedi is owned by ByteDance, the parent company of TikTok and Douyin.
The car models are listed by brand:
| Aion | RT |
| Aito | M7, M8, M9 |
| Avatr | 12 |
| Baojun | Xiangjing |
| BYD | Han DM, Han L, Seagull, Song Pro DM, Tang L DM |
| Denza | Z9 GT EV |
| Exeed | Exlantix ET, Firely EV |
| Fangcheng Bao | Bao 5 |
| GAC-Honda | P7 |
| GMW | Wey Lanshan |
| iCar | V23 |
| Leapmotor | C10 |
| Li Auto | L6 |
| Lynk & Co | 900 |
| Mercedes | C-class |
| Nio | ES6 |
| Onvo | L60 |
| Tesla | Model 3, Model X |
| Toyota | bZ3X |
| Volkswagen | Passat |
| Xiaomi | SU7, YU7 |
| Xpeng | G6, P7+ |
| Zeekr | 001, 7X |
| Luxeed | R7 |
The test included diverse scenarios: sudden stops on highways, avoiding construction zones, nighttime parked truck avoidance, and even wild boar collisions.
Of the 36 tested vehicles, 30 were from Chinese brands. Besides the Tesla Model 3 and Model X, other foreign models included the Toyota bZ3X, Volkswagen Passat, Honda P7 (from the GAC-Honda joint venture), and Mercedes C-class.
Highway ADAS Test Rankings: The Tesla Model 3 and Model X secured the top two spots, scoring 5/6 points and successfully navigating almost all test scenarios. Notably, the Model X was the only vehicle to avoid a collision with a wild boar. Unlike most other vehicles, Tesla's models are not equipped with lidar. Great Wall Motor's Wey Lanshan (also known as Wey 07), equipped with the Coffee Pilot Ultra ADAS system, surprisingly took third place.
The lowest-ranking vehicles included the Zeekr 7X, Xpeng P7+, Onvo L60, Firefly EV, and Mercedes C-class.
Even vehicles from the same brand with identical ADAS sometimes handled situations differently. This could be due to software version variations, sensor data transmission location differences within the ADAS software, or varying ADAS chip processing power. These factors can influence reaction times and other variables during real-world testing.
Urban Driving Rankings: 26 vehicles were tested in 9 different urban driving situations, including roundabouts, U-turns, pedestrian crossings, and reactions to e-bikes.
Tesla again claimed the top spot with the Model X, successfully navigating 8/9 scenarios. Following closely behind were the Luxeed R7, equipped with Huawei's ADS, and the Avatr 12, also using Huawei's technology.
The Zeekr 7X and Onvo L60 were again among the lowest-scoring models, along with the Baojun Xiangjing and Wey Lanshan, despite their better performance in highway driving scenarios.
