Tesla Outperforms 35 EV Rivals in Chinese Driver-Assist System Test

Tesla's Model 3 and Model X have outperformed 35 electric vehicle competitors in a rigorous Chinese driver-assist system test conducted by CCTV and Dcar. The evaluation simulated high-risk scenarios on expressways and urban roads, with Tesla successfully navigating five out of six challenges. In contrast, rivals like BYD's Denza Z9GT and Huawei-backed Aito M9 faltered in three tests, while Xiaomi's SU7 managed only one.

Elon Musk highlighted Tesla's achievement despite data export restrictions preventing local training in China. The company is seeking approval to transfer Shanghai-collected data to the U.S. for algorithm refinement. Meanwhile, Huawei's auto alliance declined to comment on the results, and industry experts urge local automakers to acknowledge their technological lag.
