BYD Co. opened a new front in China’s electric vehicle price war — adding advanced driver-assistance features across most of its lineup for no extra cost and sending its shares to a record.
At a highly anticipated event on Monday evening in Shenzhen, BYD said it will make its God’s Eye driver-assistance system standard in vehicles priced from 100,000 yuan ($13,700) and include it in several lower-cost models such as the popular Seagull hatchback.
