This system integrates hardware configurations and a unified backend data system, utilizing algorithms from various suppliers alongside BYD's own development. Notably, the main algorithm provider for Tianshen Eye B is <b>Momenta</b>. The current functionalities include urban NOA without maps, highway NOA, and autonomous parking.

According to industry assessments, the Han and Tang L models are positioned within the top tier of 2025 technology and experience. The Tianshen Eye system features a mainstream <b>BAS 3.0</b> structure, which consists of a perception backbone network and a control backbone network. BYD has also built a scene library of over <b>500,000 scenarios</b> using data from <b>4.4 million vehicles</b> equipped with L2 or higher levels of driving assistance, enabling a daily training mileage of <b>72 million kilometers</b> and model iterations every seven days.

In terms of data, BYD utilizes a <b>VLM multimodal large model</b> to extract valuable training data by capturing difficult perception cases and analyzing experienced drivers' behaviors. This approach allows for rapid accumulation of high-value data. Furthermore, BYD has developed an industry-leading intelligent driving world model through unsupervised reconstruction of vast intelligent driving datasets, capable of generating valuable data from simple text inputs.

For example, in control systems, algorithms for braking, steering, and drive control can be optimized using AI, resulting in rapid decision-making. This integration reduces control response latency to just <b>10 milliseconds</b>, significantly improving real-world performance: in emergency braking scenarios at <b>100 km/h</b>, stopping distances can be reduced by <b>20 meters</b>. In parking situations, the time to shift and start is improved by <b>0.8 seconds</b>, and total parking time can be cut by over <b>5 seconds</b>.

BYD has revealed that every aspect, from sensor design to perception, regulation, and precise actuator control, is developed in-house. This means that R&D costs do not need to be calculated per project but can be considered part of the group's long-term R&D investment. Additionally, many components of the Tianshen Eye's hardware systems are marked with the <b>BYD logo</b>, indicating a high level of supply chain self-sufficiency, which is crucial for cost reduction.

Moreover, BYD's massive scale allows for efficient procurement and negotiation processes, as anticipated sales have already been factored into early purchasing phases. All models utilize the same systems, enhancing management cost control and the scale effect for individual categories.

BYD has set a new standard for intelligent driving by segmenting different solutions and scenarios, a strategy that has become a model for the industry. This approach has drawn skepticism from some high-tech competitors, but it has been widely adopted by major manufacturers in the million-yuan-plus segment, reflecting an optimal balance between industry chain costs and user demands.

The <b>Tianshen Eye B</b> system on the Han and Tang L models also features a cloud-based predictive function that is deeply integrated with the vehicle's electric systems.

This allows the suspension system to adjust in real-time to road conditions, enhancing passenger comfort.

In terms of electric power, BYD's technology is pivotal in overcoming the last bastions of gasoline vehicle superiority. The company’s <b>fast charging technology</b>, known as megawatt fast charging, reaches up to <b>10C</b>, allowing peak charging power to be ten times the battery's capacity. The Han and Tang L models are equipped with batteries around <b>100 kWh</b>, enabling a performance of <b>1000V voltage</b>, <b>1000A current</b>, and <b>1000kW peak power</b> (equivalent to <b>1 megawatt</b>).

With this technology, drivers can achieve <b>400 kilometers</b> of range in just <b>5 minutes</b> of charging, translating to over <b>2 kilometers</b> gained per second of charging time. Plugging in the latest Han and Tang L for a quick charge is comparable to refueling a traditional gasoline vehicle, eliminating any performance gap.

The <b>10C charging rate</b> signifies that a substantial amount of electrons move quickly from the positive to the negative terminal of the battery. To achieve this, BYD has redesigned its blade battery cells to create high-speed pathways for electron movement, which is part of the company's core competitive advantage.

In terms of thermal management, BYD has innovated a three-dimensional lane composite temperature control system that significantly improves heat exchange efficiency by <b>90%</b>, while reducing weight compared to traditional cooling fluids. To support ultra-high power charging, BYD has also developed a new generation of automotive-grade silicon carbide power chips operating at <b>1500V</b>, the highest voltage level for automotive-grade silicon carbide power chips in mass production.

BYD has begun to participate in the construction of charging stations, planning <b>4000</b> ultra-fast charging stations nationwide with specifications of <b>1000V voltage</b>, <b>1000A current</b>, and <b>1000kW power</b>. For comparison, Tesla currently operates over <b>2000</b> supercharging stations in China, with more than <b>11,000</b> charging piles.

Some users may feel that megawatt fast charging is unnecessary, and that the construction of BYD’s charging stations will take time. However, BYD has presented undeniable practical value: the Han and Tang L can fully utilize the potential of existing charging stations, whether they are <b>60kW or 240kW</b>, running at <b>100%</b> efficiency.

On the electric performance front, the all-wheel-drive version of the Han and Tang L comes standard with the industry's strongest motor, capable of <b>30,511 RPM</b>. With the same <b>1000V</b> high voltage, each motor achieves a maximum output of <b>580kW</b> and a peak torque of <b>5500Nm</b>. The mass-produced Han and Tang L models exceed <b>1100 horsepower</b>, achieving 0 to 100 km/h acceleration times of <b>2.6 seconds</b> and <b>3.6 seconds</b>, respectively.

The <b>580kW</b> rear motor in the all-wheel-drive version has resolved material, cooling, and demagnetization issues, while the rear-drive version with a single motor, rated at <b>500kW</b>, can be seen as its lower-powered counterpart (with the rear-drive version exceeding <b>600 horsepower</b>).

BYD's latest fifth-generation <b>DM-p</b> hybrid system represents a significant upgrade from the previous models. It features a dedicated <b>1.5T engine</b>, blade battery, and a three-in-one rear drive unit, allowing for seamless switching between two-wheel and four-wheel drive. The new system boasts a patented “full-speed domain wheel-end decoupling technology” that can reduce fuel consumption by <b>0.5-0.8L/100km</b>. The <b>1.5T engine</b> achieves a maximum thermal efficiency of <b>45.3%</b>, with a rated power of <b>115kW</b> and peak torque of <b>225Nm</b>.

With the fifth-generation DM-p, the BYD Han L can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in <b>3.9 seconds</b>, while the NEDC fuel consumption is just <b>4.6L per 100 km</b> with a total range of <b>1200 km</b> when fully charged and fueled. The BYD Tang L achieves 0 to 100 km/h in <b>4.3 seconds</b> with a NEDC fuel consumption of <b>5.6L per 100 km</b> and an overall range of <b>1270 km</b>.

An enhanced feature of the fifth-generation DM-p is its AI energy management system, which improves fuel efficiency by <b>12%</b> in commuting scenarios and <b>18%</b> in navigation scenarios. The system also supports intelligent terrain recognition, allowing for seamless control mode switching based on different terrains. Additionally, BYD has developed a “dynamic tracking torque architecture algorithm” that enhances smoothness, deceleration fluidity, and acceleration linearity compared to the previous generation.

BYD’s fifth-generation DM-p not only delivers sports car-like power and the reliability of a four-wheel-drive vehicle but also boasts fuel efficiency comparable to a two-wheel-drive car—all at a price point that aligns with rear-wheel-drive competitors. The entry-level and mid-range models are rear-wheel drive, but their single-motor power output exceeds that of many industry-standard dual-motor setups. Differences in features such as rear seat ventilation, the number of speakers, and in-car refrigerators do not impact the core user experience.

BYD's Han and Tang models have long represented flagship offerings in the mass market, distinguishing between sedans and SUVs. Launched in 2020, the Han model not only showcased BYD's advancements in new energy technology but also marked the beginning of China's automotive industry surpassing traditional gasoline vehicles in power, configuration, and experience.

In less than five years, BYD has sold nearly <b>one million units</b>, establishing a strong foothold in the mid-to-high-end segment of the Chinese automotive market. Following the success of the Han and Tang, companies such as Huawei, Li Auto, NIO, and Xiaomi no longer need to prove China's capability in producing luxury vehicles.

The latest Han and Tang L models exhibit a new level of dominance, offering performance metrics previously found in electric performance cars priced above <b>500,000 yuan</b>, now available at a significantly reduced price with enhanced performance. Beyond performance, while competitors may selectively offer one or two high-tech features, BYD provides all of them as standard.

In this new era, technology has become the hallmark of luxury. BYD stands out not as a front-runner propped up by joint ventures but as a leader built on genuine technological prowess.
