In addition, the China International New Energy and Intelligent Connected Vehicle Exhibition was held at the same time as the conference, with more than 200 exhibitors covering upstream and downstream enterprises in the new energy and intelligent connected vehicle industry.
This scene may become more and more common for intelligent networked vehicles carrying cameras, lidars, sensors and other equipment to complete operations such as starting, speeding up, merging, following, turning, avoiding obstacles, and pulling over. .
Statistics show that in the first half of this year, the sales of passenger cars with combined driving assistance functions exceeded 2.88 million, and the penetration rate rose to 32.4%, a year-on-year increase of 46.2%.
At the same time, 17 test demonstration areas and 16 "dual-intelligence" pilot cities have completed the intelligent upgrade of more than 3,500 kilometers of roads, and installed more than 4,000 roadside network equipment.
More than 7,000 kilometers of test roads at all levels have been opened nationwide, and the actual road test mileage has exceeded 15 million kilometers.
Since Karl Benz invented the first automobile in 1885, the automotive industry has never been the meeting point of so many technological changes as it is today.
In the face of the future development trend of intelligent, networked, electrified and shared vehicles, what will the car evolve into?
Whether it is "a new generation of intelligent mobile terminals" or "third living space", what new changes will the new car bring to people's lives?
Recently, at the 2022 World Conference on Intelligent and Connected Vehicles held in Beijing, voices from government authorities, industry associations and academia gathered together to take a pulse and find a way for the development of intelligent and connected vehicles.
Facing the progress and challenges, the competent authorities expressed their opinions
"In recent years, the Chinese government has taken a series of measures to stimulate technological innovation, improve the policy system, and optimize the development environment, and vigorously promote the development of intelligent networked vehicles to achieve positive results." Xin Guobin, a member of the party group and deputy minister of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, revealed that not only The sales of intelligent and connected vehicles are rising steadily, and the application scenarios of autonomous driving technology are becoming more and more diverse. Significant breakthroughs have also been made in key technologies such as the new generation of electronic and electrical architecture, vehicle operating systems, computing chips with large computing power, and lidar.
In fact, with the rapid advancement of intelligence, networking and electrification of my country's automobile industry, intelligent networked vehicles with new energy vehicles as the main body have rapidly entered people's lives.
According to data released by the Ministry of Public Security, from January to August this year, the number of new energy vehicles newly registered in my country reached 3.22 million, doubling from the same period last year.
As of the end of August this year, the number of new energy vehicles in my country reached 10.99 million, a year-on-year increase of 65%.
At the same time, the trend of automobile intelligence is also accelerating significantly, and highly autonomous driving technologies above L3 level are gradually being applied in specific scenarios and limited areas such as urban taxis, trunk logistics, and terminal distribution.
Multi-scenario demonstration applications such as autonomous taxis, unmanned buses, autonomous valet parking, trunk logistics, and unmanned distribution are being carried out in an orderly manner.
Like all emerging things, the booming intelligent networked vehicles also put forward higher requirements for technological innovation and policy supervision.
"Consolidating the foundation of science and technology is the foundation of the development of the automobile industry." Zhang Yuzhuo, Secretary of the Party Group of China Association for Science and Technology, Vice Chairman in Charge of Daily Work, and First Secretary of the Secretariat, bluntly said that it is necessary to base on the development goals of intelligent network connection and the infrastructure of intelligent transportation systems, and focus on automotive chips. Equipment, materials, processes and other shortcomings, identify key technologies, condense scientific issues, and deepen basic research.
He said that it is necessary to adhere to the development route of "bicycle intelligence + network connection empowerment", promote the shift from testing and verification to multi-scenario demonstration and large-scale application, deepen the coordinated development of "vehicle, road and cloud", and radiate to drive the coordinated and healthy development of upstream and downstream industries.
Zhang Yuzhuo emphasized that it is necessary to strengthen the guarantee of intelligent networked infrastructure and promote the harmonious resonance between technology and the market.
In addition, to move towards the era of intelligent transportation, it is also necessary to break through barriers such as data silos, technology and governance fragmentation.
Liu Zhao, a member of the Party Committee and Deputy Minister of the Ministry of Public Security, said at the event that in response to issues such as self-driving cars being tested on the road and liability for illegal accidents, the Ministry of Public Security has actively promoted the improvement and revision of the "Road Traffic Safety Law", and promoted the "National IoV Industry Standards". System Guide (Intelligent Vehicle Management)" 10 technical standards declaration and compilation, creating a good regulatory and standard environment for the development of intelligent networked vehicles.
In fact, with the rapid development of intelligent connected vehicle technologies such as autonomous driving, the world's major auto producing countries such as the United States, Japan, and Germany have intensified innovations in policies and regulations, and promoted the strategic layout of the intelligent connected vehicle industry through testing, demonstration pilots, etc. .
"Intelligent and connected vehicles are an important carrier of a new round of scientific and technological revolution. They have become the strategic direction for the transformation and upgrading of the global automobile industry, driving profound changes in the form of the automobile industry, energy consumption structure, transportation mode and social operation mode." Guo Shougang, deputy director of the First Division of Equipment Industry of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, said that, as the competent department of the automobile industry, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology will continue to take multiple measures and make concerted efforts in technical standard innovation, test demonstration pilots, and improvement of policies and regulations, and strive to provide intelligent The development of the connected automobile industry creates a favorable environment.
At the 2022 World ICV Conference "Policies, Regulations and Scaled Development" theme summit, Guo Shougang stated that in the future, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology will promote the development of the ICV industry from the following four aspects: first, to promote standard development and access management; The second is to optimize the test and demonstration application environment, the third is to strengthen the network infrastructure, and the fourth is to continue to deepen international exchanges and cooperation.
Supply and demand work together, and new opportunities are hidden in the era of great change
"Currently, we are concerned that in the era of Industry 4.0, the connotation of automobiles is changing. The rapid development of intelligent and networked technologies will not only make car driving a brand new experience, but also restore the ecology of the automobile industry. In the keynote report on the opening day of the 2022 World Intelligent Connected Vehicle Conference, Zhong Zhihua, vice president of the Chinese Academy of Engineering and academician, reminded that the management of intelligent networked vehicles is a complex system engineering, and it is necessary to strengthen top-level design and carry out systematic deployment.
"The development of intelligent networked vehicles requires continuous exploration of various technical routes, as well as strong industrial manufacturing and technological innovation systems as support." Zhong Zhihua predicted that in the future, with the evolution of unmanned driving, transportation will be When major changes occur, business models change with them.
Li Guoping, the safety director of the Ministry of Transport and the executive deputy director of the China Maritime Search and Rescue Center, said that recently, the Ministry of Transport has implemented a pilot project for the pilot application of autonomous driving, which is used in urban travel services, road freight, transportation in parks, terminal distribution, port operations and In typical scenarios such as collection, distribution and transportation, 14 pilot tasks have been arranged, which has widely mobilized the enthusiasm of various innovative subjects of industry, academia, and research.
The reporter learned that since Beijing took the lead in issuing the unmanned manned demonstration application notice in April this year, the speed of autonomous driving "into the city" has accelerated significantly. Get on the horse and give it a ride."
"Beijing, as one of the most active cities in the world for the innovation and entrepreneurship of intelligent networked vehicles, actively explores and practices the technical route of the integration of vehicles, roads and transportation, and has built the world's first high-level autonomous driving demonstration area of networked cloud control, which is a great opportunity for the development of technology. It provides an acceleration platform for verification, iteration, etc.” At this meeting, Jin Wei, member of the Standing Committee of the Beijing Municipal Party Committee and deputy mayor, said that the demonstration area has been upgraded to three successive versions, realizing 60 square kilometers of intelligent networked roads and smart cities. Its private network is fully covered, the test mileage exceeds 5.5 million kilometers, and it provides services for the normal operation of more than 300 high-level autonomous vehicles of more than 10 enterprises.
In addition to strengthening the forward-looking layout of government departments and providing institutional advantages such as policies and infrastructure guarantees, another major reason why intelligent connected vehicles are favored in China is that they are gradually becoming the mainstream consumer groups in the automobile and travel markets.
"Most domestic consumers born in the 1995s are Internet aborigines, and they grew up with the Internet, big data, cloud computing, and artificial intelligence. They will be the main consumers of intelligent connected vehicles." Xu Changming, deputy director of the State Information Center He said that the young people born in the 1995s naturally have a high degree of acceptance of intelligent products. At the same time, because of the good growth environment, they can look at the world and will not be superstitious about foreign brands.
For Chinese car companies trying to achieve brand improvement through intelligent connected vehicles, this is tantamount to a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
Xu Changming predicts that by 2030, about 35 of every 100 car consumers in China will be post-95s.
In addition to presenting 1 opening ceremony and main forum, 7 theme summits, 6 special sessions, 1 closed-door meeting and 1 field research activity, the 2022 World Intelligent Connected Vehicle Conference also exhibited the "Intelligent Connected Vehicles at Home and Abroad" 7 achievements including the White Paper on the Benchmarking of Automobile Laws and Regulations and the Annual Report on the Development of China's Automobile Industry (2022).
In addition, the China International New Energy and Intelligent Connected Vehicle Exhibition was held at the same time as the conference. This is the first large-scale international professional auto exhibition held in Beijing this year. More than 200 exhibitors cover the upstream and downstream enterprises of the new energy and intelligent connected vehicle industry. .
If these achievements are the transcripts of the past development of intelligent networked vehicles, then in the face of new test questions, whether relevant companies can use practical actions to attract young consumers and hand over satisfactory "responses" will be observed by all walks of life in the future. focus.
