BYD is the first carmaker to assume full responsibility for an autonomous driving feature in China and the world

Tesla is aiming for a full rollout of FSD in China this year, and is working with tech giant Baidu to improve the performance of the system

Many complainants who bought their vehicles before the rollout say they had overpaid for their cars

The Chinese EV giant's move to introduce self-driving to its cheapest EV models — priced as low as just $9,555 — far undercuts rivals such as Tesla

Despite the Biden Administration’s push to finalise those rules, however, their implementation will come down to President-elect Donald Trump who takes office in a little over a week

The move, which will have far-reaching consequences for China’s semiconductor supply chains and tech giants, came after US officials visited Taiwan last week

The plan comes as no surprise considering US officials, such as Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo, have said Chinese tech presents national security risks

Once the biggest car seller in China, Toyota has seen its popularity drop in the country as it continues to play catch-up on EV tech

US Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo said Chinese connected cars could collect 'a lot of data around US persons that goes right back to Beijing'

The US Justice Department is examining whether Tesla misled consumers, investors and regulators about its promises for self-driving vehicles

The Chinese tech firm has also launched seven EV models in partnership with domestic automakers as it bids to become a major player in the sector

Chinese carmakers are turning to Nvidia for advanced technology in an effort to compensate for what they currently lack in global brand recognition
