The 2025 World Intelligent Connected Vehicle Conference (hereinafter referred to as the "Conference") was held in Beijing from the 16th to the 18th, attracting over 8000 representatives from governments, enterprises, and research institutions from more than 10 countries and regions. At the conference, the achievements of China's automotive industry in the 14th Five Year Plan and how to embrace the future in the next five years became the focus of discussion and attention from various parties. The Economist magazine reported on the 16th that China is currently building a "decisive leading position" in the global smart car industry. Chinese companies have achieved the long-awaited 'Chinese speed' in this field.
The next three to five years will witness the leapfrog development of intelligent driving
Xin Guobin, Deputy Minister of Industry and Information Technology of China, stated at the conference that the development of China's intelligent connected vehicle industry has achieved positive results, and a complete industrial system covering intelligent cockpit, autonomous driving, connected cloud control, etc. has been established. Large computing chips and intelligent line control chassis have been mass-produced, and technologies such as human-computer interaction and collaborative perception are leading globally. The sales of new passenger cars equipped with combined driving assistance functions account for over 60%.
Some participants expressed that the electrification of the first half of intelligent connected vehicles has been preliminarily completed, and the intelligence of the second half is gradually deepening. A series of innovative technologies are reshaping the product definition, production mode, business model, and user experience of automobiles.
At the roundtable forum of the conference, Cao Xudong, CEO of Momenta, an intelligent driving company, believed that China's artificial intelligence technology has been widely applied in many domestic and joint venture car companies. In his view, Chinese technology companies have become the main driving force for the progress of the automotive industry and a key player in determining the direction of the new era of automotive development. Lv Peng, Vice President, Strategic Department, and Head of Intelligent Driving Product Planning and Marketing Department of Horizon Robotics, an intelligent driving enterprise, stated at the conference that China's automotive intelligence is developing rapidly, forming a large number of industry synergies and building a complete cooperation system. In the next three to five years, the industry may witness a leapfrog development in intelligent driving.
Zhang Xiang, a researcher at the Automotive Industry Innovation Research Center of North China University of Technology, told Global Times reporters that the intelligent networking of automobiles is mainly reflected in two parts: digital cockpit and intelligent assisted driving. Chinese enterprises have made significant progress in related technologies in the past five years.
With the support of intelligent networking, Chinese automobile brands have greatly increased their international visibility and market competitiveness. Zhang Xiang stated that the changes in China's new energy (4.640, 0.24, 5.45%) automobile exports over the past five years clearly demonstrate the role of intelligent networking in enhancing the international competitiveness of Chinese automobile brands. In 2019, China's automobile exports were about 1 million units, and by 2024, they have jumped to over 5.8 million units. In 2019, China's exports of new energy vehicles were about 250000 units, and by 2024, they will increase to around 1.28 million units.
