BYD has unveiled its new advanced driver assistance system (ADAS) «God’s Eye» (God’s Eye). Interestingly, the company promises to equip all of its models, even the most affordable ones, with this latest version of the system. This will obviously have a huge impact on the availability of advanced driver assistance features in the world of electric vehicles.
The «God’s Eye» system has three levels, each designed for different car models and price points. The entry-level God’s Eye C system is targeted at BYD’s affordable vehicles, including the Seagull hatchback, which starts at RMB 69,800 (approximately €8610) in China. This low-cost system utilizes a cluster of three cameras behind the windshield and is powered by the DiPilot 100 platform, which has 100 TOPS of processing power. The God’s Eye C also includes 12 cameras (three with a front view, five panoramic and four with a circular view), five mmWave radars for 360-degree perception and 12 ultrasonic sensors.
The next step is the God’s Eye B system. This version uses a LiDAR sensor for enhanced perception and will be installed in Denza and Fang Cheng Bao cars, as well as in some BYD flagship models. It is powered by the DiPilot 300 platform with 300 TOPS of computing power.
At the top of the line is God’s Eye A, a three-sensor LiDAR system powered by the DiPilot 600 platform with 600 TOPS processing power. This premium system will be reserved for the BYD Yangwang luxury brand.
A key element of BYD’s approach is its Xuanji architecture. Described as «one brain, two ends, three networks, and four chains», this architecture integrates the central processing unit, cloud AI, vehicle-side AI, Internet of Things, 5G and satellite networks, sensor chain, control chain, data chain, and mechanical chain. Xuanji’s architecture connects to Deepseek R1’s extensive language model, further enhancing AI capabilities.
In terms of functionality, God’s Eye A and God’s Eye B support autonomous driving in both city and highway environments. God’s Eye C currently only offers automatic highway driving, and city functionality is planned for future «over-the-air (OTA) updates.
