Even the cheapest Cher will have autopilot

The company is going to equip an entry -level model of autonomous driving systems, Chinese media write. For example, the advanced functionality based on the Qualcomm chip will boast of tiny electric chick [EQ1](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/chery_eq1), also known as Xiao Mayi or Little Ant. Its price starts with 59.9 thousand yuan, which in terms of rubles is about 720 thousand.

The autonomous control system operates on the Qualcomm 8620 chip. In addition to Highway Noa autopilot (Navigate on Autopilot), the chip also supports the autonomous parking system with the function of memorizing frequently performed maneuvers. That is, at least two advanced systems will receive the most affordable Chery models.

Such a step is the answer to Chery to the decision of the BYD concern to equip all models with the autopilot of the “eye of God” with different hardware filling and performance. The cheapest Byd that will receive such a system is Seagull worth 69.8 thousand yuan (about 840 thousand rubles). Perhaps trading wars in China will force other manufacturers to take similar measures to attract customers.

However, BYD has already encountered a problem: the company was criticized by customers who bought their BYD until the equipment list is expanded. They are going to add compensation.

Last year, Chery Group sold 2.6 million cars, setting its own record. 1.14 million went to export, which is 21 percent more than a year earlier. The annual income was also a record – 480 billion yuan.
