4 November 2026

Automotive manufacturer BYD issued a formal statement on Monday to address and reject circulating claims that its 'Tian Shen Zhi Yan C' intelligent driving system is being phased out. Reports suggesting that the company is replacing the driving solution for its B and C models were characterized by the firm as factually incorrect.

BYD stated that it remains committed to in-house development of its intelligent driving technologies, emphasizing that the system is currently receiving regular software iterations and updates to enhance safety and reliability. The company underscored its dedication to these internal R&D processes rather than outsourcing core autonomous driving logic.

In response to the spread of these rumors, BYD noted that it has gathered evidence regarding the dissemination of what it describes as misleading information. The company stated that it plans to pursue legal action against those responsible for creating and propagating these false claims.
