China has taken the lead in the global race to build self-driving cars, with over 50% of cars sold in China last year equipped with advanced assisted driving technology, compared to less than 40% in the US.
Chinese automakers like BYD are surpassing Tesla by offering self-driving technology for free.
While Western companies like Tesla and Waymo are expanding in the US, Chinese firms have made significant technological advancements.
China's advantage in rolling out self-driving technology is attributed to its massive tech talent pool and efficient data processing capabilities.
