The move marks the latest push by the world's largest EV maker to build trust in assisted-driving ​and boost adoption of its three-tier God's Eye system, ​as price pressure mounts, domestic demand slows and profits ⁠fall. Sign up here. Chairman Wang Chuanfu said the carmaker aimed to achieve "zero traffic ​accidents" through intelligent-driving technology. BYD said it would fully cover compensation and ​repairs for any accidents arising when drivers use its City Navigation function, without affecting their insurance premiums the following year, in one of its pledges ​to deploy assisted driving systems more widely. BYD's quarterly profit recently ​posted its steepest decline since 2020, even as the company rolls out ‌new ⁠technology. Its major battery upgrade, the first in six years, has failed to reverse the slowdown in domestic sales. On Thursday, the company also showed off a new self-developed 4-nanometer chip that supports ​L3 and L4 ​autonomous driving. Wang said its budget models could ⁠be ​upgraded to God's Eye B smart-driving ​capability at a price of 12,000 yuan ($1,770.02).
