The global auto industry is increasingly reliant on semiconductors, which are now as strategic as batteries and motors. Geopolitical tensions and export controls, especially from the U.S., have accelerated China's drive for semiconductor self-reliance, with the automotive sector as a key focus. BYD exemplifies this trend, having invested over two decades in building in-house semiconductor capabilities, from power devices to advanced smart-driving chips, supported by a vertically integrated manufacturing model. This positions BYD not only as a leader in China's automotive chip localization but also as a potential player in emerging AI-driven fields like robotics, highlighting how semiconductor strategy is reshaping the auto industry and beyond.
