BYD pledges Full Damage Coverage for Urban NOA

BYD has pledged Full Damage Coverage (FDC) for the Urban Navigate on Autopilot (NOA) function of its Tianshen-BYD Driving-assistance System in China.

With this new pledge, following its commitment to Intelligent Parking, BYD is the world's first automaker to offer dual coverage for its advanced driving assistance systems. Furthering its "Intelligent Driving for All" strategy, BYD also announced that its entire vehicle lineup can now be optionally equipped with the Tianshen-B Driving-assistance System LiDAR Version.

The policy states that if a legally-liable accident occurs while a user is operating the Urban NOA function in compliance with regulations, BYD will directly cover all resulting economic losses

This one-year FDC guarantee applies to new buyers and existing owners who upgrade to the Tianshen-BYD Driving-assistance System 5.0 in the Chinese market. The policy states that if a legally liable accident occurs while a user is operating the Urban NOA function in compliance with regulations, BYD will directly cover all resulting economic losses.

In addition, this Tianshen-BYD Driving-assistance System receives four major upgrades. These include a new Xuanji Architecture 2.0, an industry-first satellite sensor architecture, an upgraded physical AI large model, and a self-evolving data flywheel built on massive real-world scenarios.

Inside, BYD has introduced the DiLink AI Intelligent Cockpit, a hyper-realistic digital assistant that offers proactive task execution and deep reasoning capabilities.

The Xuanji A3 is China's first self-developed 4nm automotive-grade Driving SoC

And at its Intelligence Strategy Launch Event, where BYD announced this, it also unveiled China's first 4nm automotive Driving SoC, the Xuanji A3.

It natively supports L3 and L4 autonomous driving, and a three-chip configuration can deliver over 2,100 TOPS of computing power per vehicle. BYD has said that the Xuanji A3 is now already in mass production, and when combined with its proprietary algorithms, it doubles computing utilisation and raises the ceiling for both safety and performance.
