Do we want our cars to drive alone? It is one of the great questions about which the automotive market seems to turn. Companies, of course, seem to be clear about the answer: yes. Beyond the obligations of the European Union in security matters (which already forces to ride assistants such as emergency braking or lane change alert), it is clear that efforts for Offer highly assisted systems in driving They are there. The manufacturers have been highlighting the functions for an automated vehicle parking for some time. From Online parking lotsuntil they square the car in a minimum space Based on burning wheelthrough vehicles that Remember the path they have circulated and thus save really narrow spaces or cars that They function like a robb In a parking lot. But it is Tesla and especially Chinese manufacturers who seem to be more interested in demonstrating to what extent they have the best semi -automatic driving systems. They believe there is a huge business to explode and Byd has just knew an important blow to Tesla. Autonomous driving as a differential value From Tesla they have tired of selling us autonomous driving as the great business of the future for the company. His Tesla Cybercabthe attempt to put a completely autonomous robotaxi on the street that lacks flyers and pedals, is the most obvious attempt. But this is just the tip of the iceberg. The company has been selling its semi -automated driving functions for years with promiseseven that now they see very complicated to fulfill and that They will cost Tesla a good money. Elon Musk has made his Autopilot and the Full self driving Be a sufficient value to opt for Tesla rather than for the competition. In the United States, promoting the system is key because they aspire to make vehicles themselves in automatic mode (under supervision) help them improve the system they are developing for their robotaxis. They believe that they can get a huge database to which Cruise or Waymo never arrived. But where there really is a really bloody battle in economic terms it is in China. In fact, Musk himself has made all possible efforts For Tesla to be allowed to map the streets to develop their autonomous driving systems. They are aware that in a market where the price is being differential and Chinese brands continue to tighten stronglya good performance of these systems is differential to sell as a key incentive before a future purchase. Obviously, they are not the only ones who believe it. During the presentation of Xiaomi Su7the Chinese company focused an important part of its efforts on demonstrating the autonomous capabilities of its car. Not only taught how the car reads the environment, they came to demonstrate how the vehicle It worked with absolute autonomy within a public parking lotI found a space where to park and maneuver between different obstacles. That same demonstration of strength (or higher) is what has made byd with the presentation of its “Eye of God”. The most surprising thing has not been that they sell the automated driving functions of their cars, they have also made an important announcement: incorporate it for free to all their vehicles. A missile in Tesla’s flotation line that sought to make these systems a business added to its vehicles, A way to profitable with permanent subscriptions or purchases at high prices these services. Until now, Byd only had this service in its middle and high -end vehicles but The company has announced which will be available for free in all its electric cars, from the economic Byd Seagullone of the electric models best selling in the country. During the announcement, Wang Chuanfu, founder of Byd, mentioned That automated driving functions have become basic safety equipment, at the seat belt or airbag level. The Chinese company also confirmed that it was integrating models of Deepseek in its functions controlled by artificial intelligence to improve the autonomous capacity of vehicles. The announcement is A bomb within the Chinese market. The local market is leaving aside the classic characteristics that have attracted cars to focus on advanced functions such as deeper infotainment systems or autonomous driving. Xpeng either Child They have tried to position their products as advanced vehicles in this regard without achieving profitability. Xiaomi, as we said, He showed these functions in the presentation of its first electric car. Incorporating these services in an electric car that, at direct change, is sold for less than 10,000 euros in China is a declaration of intentions and can be an important impulse to sales, something that the Chinese state seeks that has continued to expand the aid to the purchase of these cars with the aim of keeping alive an industry that is manufacturing much more of the vehicles you can buy while trying to continue promoting the consumption of citizens Faced with the slowdown in growth.
