BYD launched high-level assisted driving, starting with high-speed NOA .
HiEV has learned that in the third quarter of this year, BYD will equip the new Han model with the high-speed navigation assisted driving function (commonly known as high-speed NOA). After the Han Dynasty, some versions of the Dynasty series Tang and Song will also usher in high-end intelligent driving functions.
The higher-positioned Tengshi, F brand, Yangwang, etc. have also planned or announced that they will be equipped with high-end intelligent driving functions including urban NOA.
For a long time, the assisted driving of BYD models has often been criticized for "drawing dragons". The new high-end smart driving solution is expected to change this situation.
Although Wang Chuanfu's criticism of "unmanned driving" was widely disseminated on the Internet some time ago, this will not affect BYD's models equipped with advanced driver assistance in the next year, which will be launched like "dumplings".

1. The new Han model: BYD DNP is coming
BYD's advanced navigator assisted driving function is named DNP.
Starting from the third quarter of this year, the high-end smart driving solution for BYD Han models will be based on Horizon Journey 5, equipped with 11V5R sensors, equipped with high-precision positioning services from Juefei Technology, and Neusoft Ruichi will provide domain controllers.

In terms of functions, the new Han will support
pilot assisted driving on expressways/fast roads
, and may upgrade the assisted driving functions on some urban roads. The new car may support functions such as magic carpet suspension and reverse tracking.
The Song models of the Dynasty series have also issued high-end intelligent driving-related components to suppliers. Tang is also evaluating the high-end intelligent driving function on the car.
At the same time, BYD's Dynasty and Ocean series are all fixed-point Nvidia DRIVE Orin computing platform.

This year is also a critical year for the revival of the Denza brand. Tengshi's hunting SUV N7 was unveiled last month, and the price range of this car is expected to be above 350,000 yuan.
The high-end version of the N7 is equipped with the city navigation assisted driving function, equipped with 2 Sagitar Juchuang lidars and a single Nvidia OrinX chip, and some software algorithms of the system are provided by Momenta.
A Tengza insider revealed, "After the new car is launched in June, it will have basic L2 functions, and high-end functions will be released one after another."

On top of the Tengshi brand, Yangwang is BYD's most prestigious brand at present. Looking up to the pre-sale price of the first car
U8 is 1.098 million yuan
. The U8 is equipped with 3 lidars, 1 on the roof and 2 on the wheel eyebrows on the left and right sides of the vehicle. The autonomous driving computing platform uses the Nvidia Orin chip.
BYD looks forward to U8's price positioning and intelligent driving solutions, which are quite similar to Lotus ELETRE. Both will have high-speed piloting and urban piloting assisted driving functions, and there is also overlap in the selection of suppliers for lidar and software algorithms.
Looking up to the U8's lidar is not only used to assist driving perception, but also serves as the input of the cloud car of the body control system. The forward-facing lidar can perceive the potholes and ups and downs of the road, and the vehicle can adjust the height of the body and the hardness of the suspension to improve passability and comfort.
As a result, BYD's entire product lineup is ushering in a round of upgrades in the assisted driving experience, from Dynasty and Ocean to brands that look up to. In addition to the high-end version, in terms of low-end solutions, BYD is also actively looking for solutions with small computing power and integrated travel and parking.
2. BYD's road to intelligent driving: self-development or cooperation?
In the past year or so, BYD has recruited talents in Shenzhen, Shanghai, Xi'an and other places to form autonomous driving teams.
At the same time, BYD's smart driving development has also carried out very extensive cooperation with supply chain companies, and its partners have covered mainstream leading technology companies in the industry.

In the past two years, many people in the industry underestimated the development speed of electrification, but overestimated the speed of popularization of intelligence.
An industry insider who has in-depth contact with BYD's smart driving business told HiEV: Everyone had an important misjudgment about BYD before. Many people think that BYD's competitors are new energy vehicles like Wei Xiaoli, but in fact BYD positions its competitors as "fuel vehicles . "

"
Oil and electricity consideration
" is a very important product and market strategy of BYD. That is to use electric new energy vehicles with the same or close price to provide a better experience than fuel vehicles.
This also means that BYD's first focus on products is the electrified experience, not intelligence. But in turn, after BYD has sufficient market size and capital, BYD began to increase investment in intelligence, especially assisted driving.
But at present, BYD's assisted driving research and development is still under adjustment:
On the one hand, due to the spread of the multi-brand strategy, the development of intelligent driving is being delegated to the respective product research institutes of each brand under the leadership of the product planning and new technology research institute;
On the other hand, there are still internal disputes about whether to adopt self-research or cooperation.
But in any case, BYD's launch of high-level assisted driving is of great significance to the popularization of smart driving. It also in turn helps BYD to make up for its shortcomings and accelerate its brand development.
