Nissan หันใช้ DeepSeek AI จีน และ BYD ใช้ DeepSeek แจกฟรี ระบบขับขี่อัจฉริยะ ท้าชน Tesla

Summary

BYD made its God’s Eye driver-assist standard and free across every model, running on China’s DeepSeek, while Tesla charges $99 a month for the equivalent.

Nissan chose DeepSeek-R1 for its N7, which shows this is not confined to Chinese marques.

The consequence is that in-car AI is becoming a baseline feature rather than a paid extra.

Key points

  1. A price of zero is a strategic weapon

    When a rival gives it away, a subscription model becomes hard to sustain.

  2. Open models are what make that cost possible

    Paying model licensing per vehicle would make giving it away across the range impossible.

  3. A Japanese marque choosing Chinese AI is the signal

    Nissan has no political reason to choose it — only technical and commercial ones.

  4. Whoever gives first sets the new baseline

    Once buyers have had it free, charging for it again is very hard.
