BYD launched Xuanji, its software for smart cars, on Tuesday, seeking to compete with industry giants such as Tesla and Xpeng. With driving assistance, parking, artificial intelligence and voice recognition features, Xuanji will initially be available on models in the Yangwang line —composed of the U8 SUV and the U9 sports car—, with plans to expand to other vehicles in the future.
The Chinese company is intensifying its efforts in the field of automotive technology. BYD President Wang Chuanfu revealed that more than 90,000 employees are involved in research departments, with 4,000 focused exclusively on intelligent driving.
The Xuanji system, which means “immediately” in Chinese, differentiates itself by allowing the car to function even without essential body parts, replacing missing mechanical components through technology.
With two artificial intelligences (one in the car and one in the cloud), the system operates on three communication networks: with other vehicles, satellites and 5G.
The press demonstration featured a Yangwang U8 car missing some body parts, brake discs and calipers, highlighting the Xuanji’s ability to drive, perform maneuvers up to 60 km/h and brake using electronic controls. At the moment, the Xuanji is only available on models in the Yangwang line,
Equipped with three LiDAR laser radars and 360º cameras with 99.9% perception, the system offers accurate detection, passing between barriers with just 10 cm of clearance.
Xuanji also incorporates an advanced voice assistant, recognizing the voice at four different points within the vehicle, identifying different dialects and executing up to 12 commands in a single order. BYD is also exploring new ways to enter the car, such as using a cell phone key and biometrics.
