- Chinese automakers like SAIC Motor, Changan, Great Wall Motor, BYD, Li Auto, and Geely are developing models with 100% homemade chips.
- At least two brands aim to start mass production of these models by 2026.
- The first mass-produced models will be updated versions of existing lines, with more brands to follow.
- This initiative supports China's goal of increasing self-reliance in chips amid rising U.S.-China tensions.
