□ my country's total automobile production and sales have ranked first in the world for 14 consecutive years. The huge base not only provides a solid foundation for the development of intelligent connected cars, but also gives my country the indispensable big data advantage for intelligent connected cars.

  □ The development of the intelligent connected automobile industry should focus more on science and technology, focusing on the industrial connection between technology and automobiles, and pioneering and innovative development. The advantages vary from place to place, so blind investment and disorderly competition should be avoided.

  Recently, Wuhan East Lake High-tech Zone launched 12 support policies for new energy intelligent connected vehicles. Taking "optical-vehicle linkage" as the overall idea, it will provide support to relevant enterprises from various aspects, with a maximum of 200 million yuan, and encourage enterprises to locate their headquarters in Optics Valley.

  The reporter found that as of now, more than 30 provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities) across the country have launched policy plans to support the development of the intelligent connected automobile industry. Not only are the four powerful first-tier cities in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen eager to lead the development of emerging industries, but important automobile industry towns such as Wuhan, Chongqing, Changchun, Xi'an, Hefei and Liuzhou are also participating. Why are various places actively developing the intelligent and connected automobile industry? What are the development prospects of intelligent and connected automobiles?

  Some experts said that my country's total automobile production and sales have ranked first in the world for 14 consecutive years. It has become a priority to promote quantitative changes to qualitative changes, and intelligent connected cars are one of the breakthroughs.

  Intelligent connected cars have become the strategic direction and important engine for the transformation of the automobile industry and even the development of the digital economy. As early as 2010, the concept of "Internet of Vehicles" was proposed; during the "14th Five-Year Plan" period, the development of new energy and intelligent connected vehicles has become a top priority. The "14th Five-Year Plan" mentioned that it is necessary to accelerate the promotion of digital Industrialization includes building application scenarios and industrial ecology based on 5G, and conducting pilot demonstrations in key areas such as intelligent transportation. Currently, intelligent connected vehicles are in a critical period of transition from the R&D and testing stage to demonstration applications and large-scale commercial promotion in the future.

  How to better support the development of the intelligent connected automobile industry? Zhang Shulin, former deputy director of the Automobile Department of the Ministry of Machinery Industry and former executive vice chairman and secretary-general of the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers, said that my country’s biggest advantage in promoting the development of intelligent connected vehicles is that it has a large-scale, technologically leading new energy vehicle industry. carrier.

  Data from the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers shows that in 2023, my country's new energy vehicle sales will be 9.495 million units, a year-on-year increase of 37.9%, and the market share will reach 31.6%. The huge base not only provides a solid foundation for the development of intelligent connected vehicles, but also enables our country to have Big data advantages are indispensable for intelligent connected cars.

  As a highly cross-border and interdisciplinary industry, intelligent connected cars have many core technologies that still need to be overcome. Zhang Shulin said that it is difficult for one place to include all the resources needed for the development of the industrial chain. Working alone can easily lead to resource dispersion, inefficiency, and duplication of investment. Therefore, it is necessary to in-depth cooperation between industry, academia and research institutes to build a corresponding docking platform. "All localities should concentrate their efforts on overcoming weak links and form competitive advantages. Particular attention should be paid to basic research, focusing on cultivating interdisciplinary and cross-field talents, and truly implementing research results and technologies into engineering applications to form a technology transformation value chain. "Zhang Shulin said.

  Comprehensive and powerful policy support is also an important advantage for my country's development of intelligent connected vehicles. Various comprehensive policies introduced in recent years covering the construction of circulation systems, demonstration applications of artificial intelligence, high-precision map surveying, new technology safety supervision, network and data security, etc. have played a key guiding role in the development of intelligent connected vehicles. For example, in November 2023, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the Ministry of Public Security, the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development, and the Ministry of Transport jointly issued the "Notice on Carrying out the Pilot Work on the Access and Road Access of Intelligent Connected Vehicles", which provides guidance on accelerating the Requirements have been put forward in promoting the application of intelligent connected automobile products, ensuring the safe operation of intelligent connected automobile products, promoting the development of industrial integration and improving social efficiency. On November 29, Jiangsu Province reviewed and approved the "Decision on Promoting the Development of the Internet of Vehicles and Intelligent Connected Vehicles", which is also the country's first provincial-level local regulation to promote the development of the Internet of Vehicles and intelligent connected vehicles.

  In fact, the advantages vary from place to place, and blind investment and disorderly competition should be avoided. Yan Jinghui, a member of the expert committee of the China Automobile Dealers Association, said that intelligent interconnection technology requires terminal products as presentation carriers. For example, Wuhan has Dongfeng Motors and Hefei has JAC Automobiles. These places have inherent advantages. For places without an automobile industry foundation, the development of the intelligent connected automobile industry must start from the technological aspect, focusing on the industrial docking of technology and automobiles, and pioneering and innovative development.

  "Many places are pouring into the intelligent connected car industry at the same time, resulting in waste of resources and other phenomena that may be unavoidable. However, in the face of innovative industries, competition among heroes in the early stages of development is an objective law. The ultimate goal is to complete the survival of the fittest and achieve healthy development of the industry." Yan Jinghui said .
