On June 6, 2026, ByteDance issued a formal statement addressing recent media reports that had misconstrued 'Saidou' as either the 'Doubao auto brand' or as evidence of ByteDance venturing into car manufacturing. The company firmly clarified that these reports were unfounded, emphasizing that ByteDance has no intentions of producing cars or launching an automotive brand. 'Saidou' is neither an auto brand under ByteDance nor Doubao, and there is no equity partnership between ByteDance and Saidou. The collaboration between Doubao, Volcano Engine, and their partners in the automotive sector mainly focuses on delivering technical services, including the Doubao large-scale model and intelligent cockpit solutions, aimed at elevating the in-car intelligent interaction experience.
