BYD is vertically integrating semiconductor design into mass-market vehicles, pairing a domestically manufactured 4nm processor with LiDAR at a price point that undercuts Tesla by 60-70%. China's EV leader is collapsing the cost curve for self-driving capability faster than any Western competitor can match. The structural shift: autonomous tech development is moving to Beijing labs, not staying in Silicon Valley.
