Executive Vice President Li Ke announced the company is already working on them. She highlighted that automotive AI and robotics share the same technological foundations. Perception, decision-making, motion control, software, and hardware all overlap between cars and robots. BYD believes manufacturing scale, supply chains, and safety expertise will be key competitive advantages.More
The company could even sell future humanoid robots through its massive existing dealer network. This would turn car showrooms into robot outlets one day. BYD is also considering an open-platform approach. It plans to develop its own robots while partnering with external robotics firms. This mirrors its successful strategy in the EV world. Several Chinese automakers are accelerating in this space. Chery already started online sales of a humanoid robot earlier this year. Xpeng is linking its AI and autonomous driving tech to future robotics too. The convergence of automotive and embodied AI is happening fast.
BYD remains China’s EV sales leader with strong monthly volumes. This move shows how EV giants are expanding beyond vehicles. Humanoid robots could soon become household products. The future of intelligent machines is getting exciting. What do you think — will we see BYD robots in dealerships soon? Drop your thoughts below!

Under this new initiative, BYD is offering comprehensive coverage for its “God’s Eye” A/B smart driving systems. For new owners, the coverage begins upon vehicle delivery, while existing owners will gain access after updating to the “God’s Eye 5.0” version via OTA. This policy provides one year of full liability coverage for urban pilot assist functions.
The terms of the guarantee are notably generous: provided the system is used in compliance with regulations, BYD will cover all costs associated with at-fault traffic accidents, including repairs to the owner’s vehicle as well as third-party property damage and personal injury. Crucially, this service requires no additional purchase of “intelligent driving insurance,” features no payout cap, and will not impact the owner’s commercial insurance premiums for the following year.
BYD’s “God’s Eye B” smart driving package is currently priced at 12,000 yuan (1,800 USD) for a one-off purchase.
