Safety & Sales: Take A Look into BYD's DiPilot Intelligent Driving System

Safety & Sales: Take A Look into BYD's DiPilot Intelligent Driving System

As of November 2025, the global automotive landscape is witnessing a historic shift. With BYD’s intelligent driving sales hitting a record 311,267 units in a single month and cumulative installations exceeding 2.3 million, China’s New Energy Vehicle (NEV) market is no longer just growing—it is evolving.

By combining cutting-edge Autonomous Driving with rigorous Safety Regulatory Systems, China is setting a new global gold standard for "High-Quality Development."

DiPilot Intelligent Driving System Introduction:

1. The Rise of "Intelligence for All": BYD’s Market Dominance

The surge in sales is the most direct proof of competitiveness. According to the latest data, BYD’s "God’s Eye" (DiPilot) advanced driving system has not only led the market for consecutive months but has also secured the top spot in domestic sales with 2.3 million units installed.

This success is rooted in the "Intelligence for All" strategy. By collecting over 150 million kilometers of real-world driving data every day, the AI models are evolving at lightning speed. This makes the systems both "smarter" and more reliable. Furthermore, BYD’s pioneering "Parking Assist Safety Guarantee"—offering unlimited compensation for accidents during assisted parking—has built a powerful "moat of trust" for consumers.

2. Reshaping the Global Leaderboard

Chinese brands are now firmly in the driver’s seat of the global EV market. Data from Clean Technica shows that from January to October 2025:

  • Global NEV Sales: 16.46 million units.
  • The Leader: BYD firmly holds the #1 spot with 3.4 million units.
  • The Competition: While Chinese brands like Geely and Leapmotor saw triple-digit growth, Tesla’s sales dipped by 8.6% (1.29 million units), moving it to second place.
  • Market Share: Out of the world's TOP 20 best-selling EV models, 17 are Chinese brands, accounting for over 74% of total sales. From budget-friendly commuters to million-yuan luxury models, Chinese EVs now cover every market segment.

3. Safety as the Foundation: The "Dual Control" System

If sales are the "visible achievement," safety regulation is the "invisible cornerstone." Following high-profile incidents involving battery thermal runaway, China’s State Administration for Market Regulation (SAMR) introduced the "Dual Control" Risk Prevention System.

This system uses "Digital Traceability" to analyze fire and loss-of-control incidents with surgical precision. The results are impressive:

  • 214% Increase in fire defect investigation efficiency.
  • 1.31 million vehicles recalled proactively to fix potential hazards.
  • Preemptive Warnings: The "Smart Cloud Platform" has already integrated data from 710,000 vehicles, successfully flagging 103 high-risk cars and preventing millions in potential losses.

4. The "Digital Black Box" and New Standards

Starting December 1, 2025, the new Technical Requirements for Dynamic Monitoring of NEV Safety Performance came into effect. This requires vehicles to automatically upload high-precision data (speed, battery temperature, etc.) from the 30 seconds before and after an accident. This acts as a "Digital Black Box," providing indisputable data for accident analysis and ensuring consumer protection.

5. Looking Ahead: 2026 and Beyond

With the 2026 NEV tax policy transition approaching, 17 major automakers and local governments have already stepped up with over 1 billion RMB in subsidies to ensure a smooth transition for buyers.

As Shi Jianhua, Deputy Secretary-General of the China EV100, stated: "Safety is the immovable lifeline of the auto industry." By balancing rapid technological expansion with iron-clad safety standards, China is no longer just a participant in the global auto industry—it is the architect of its future.
