BYD stock soars on DeepSeek AI self-driving partnership

BYD’s shares hit a record high after it announced a partnership with AI firm DeepSeek to integrate advanced self-driving technology into its vehicles. The new system, called “God’s Eye,” aims to make autonomous driving a standard safety feature rather than a luxury, with availability in models starting at 69,800 RMB ($9,622). This marks a shift from BYD’s previously cautious approach to self-driving tech, positioning it alongside competitors like Geely and Great Wall Motor, who are also exploring AI integration. As the industry moves toward AI-powered features, regulatory approval remains a key challenge, with Tesla still awaiting Beijing’s clearance for fully autonomous driving.
