China has overtaken the U.S. in the race for self-driving cars, as more than half of vehicles sold in China last year featured advanced driver assistance technology. This is a significant increase compared to under 40% in the U.S. Chinese automakers, particularly BYD, are gaining an advantage by offering free self-driving tech along with their vehicles. Meanwhile, Tesla faces increased competition for its paid driver assistance features, and the landscape is becoming a crucial battleground for automotive companies vying for dominance in this emerging market.
Complimentary intelligent-driving features are emerging as a key competitive tool, further distinguishing China-brand offerings from overseas offerings.
The figures suggest China has built a sizable lead in the global race to deploy self-driving technology, with the gap appearing to widen over the past few years.
