Changan Group has unveiled its SDA Pilot, an advanced driver assistance system (ADAS) with three tiers, enhancing its intelligent driving efforts. The top-tier “Ultra” includes both highway and urban autopilot features, 31 active safety elements, a 560 TOPS computing chip, and a 256-line LiDAR sensor. The Changan Nevo Q06 is the first model to use SDA Pilot Ultra, ready for pre-order following the launch. Development of this technology commenced in 2009, with Level 3 conditional autonomous driving approval expected in December 2025.
Changan’s President Zhao Fei highlighted the extensive journey of developing intelligent driving technology since 2009, and the significant investment in R&D—over €7.7 billion (approximately US$8.3 billion)—backed by a team of over 7,500 engineers. The system has been trained on more than 20 million driving scenarios, utilizing a simulation framework that encompasses 224 climate regions globally. Chairman Zhu Huarong emphasized the growth of their intelligent driving team and their commitment to in-house technology development.
