From “Exclusive High-End” to “Available for All” – Ocean Network Makes High-End Autonomous Driving Accessible to the Masses
Historically, high-grade autonomous driving has been a feature exclusive to high-end models due to its high cost and technical barriers.

In just three years, the Ocean Network has gained the trust of over 4.2 million users, becoming a major player in the electric vehicle industry. With its focus on innovation, BYD continues to push the boundaries of smart technology, offering new models with “God’s Eye” technology that span the 70,000-300,000 CNY price range, ensuring that high-level autonomous driving is accessible to all, and opening a new era of “autonomous driving for all.”
