According to CTOnews.com news on September 14, official account today released an article entitled "Analysis of the Development status and related policies of Intelligent Network Alliance vehicles in China", which makes some analysis on the current situation of China's automobile market.

▲ Picture Source passenger Association official account said that Intelligent Network connected cars are an important engine to promote the high-quality development of the vehicle networking industry and promote the sustained growth of the world economy. Since 2015, the State Council, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the Ministry of Public Security, the Ministry of Transport and other departments have issued a series of policy standards and opinions to guide and standardize the development of domestic intelligent network automobile industry.

At present, China's intelligent network automobile industry has entered a new stage of development, with accelerated iterative evolution of technology, continuous deepening of industrial development, and urgent demand for industry supervision, which puts forward higher requirements for standardization work under the new situation. Therefore, it is necessary to analyze the development status and related policies of Intelligent Network Automotive in China.

The full text of CTOnews.com is as follows:

Since the 18th CPC National Congress, the Chinese government has actively promoted the development of the intelligent network automobile industry, which is regarded as an important means to solve traffic safety, road congestion, energy consumption and environmental pollution, so as to drive the scientific and technological change and speed up the upgrading of the automobile industry. The market size of China's intelligent network connection automobile industry was 63.6 billion yuan in 2019 and increased to 101.2 billion yuan in 2021, with a compound annual growth rate of about 26.1%.

In 2021, 4.766 million models with L2 intelligent driving function were sold in China's new passenger car market, with a penetration rate of 23.5%, an increase of 57.2% over the same period last year. In 2022, the sales of new intelligent passenger cars equipped with auxiliary self-driving systems reached 7 million, an increase of 45.6 percent over the same period last year, and the market penetration increased to 30.9 percent.

Most domestic car companies have mass produced L2-level auxiliary driving cars, realizing large-scale commercial application. According to the statistics of the Intelligent Network Alliance of Automobile Industry Innovation, from January to May 2023, the number of L2 intelligent driving vehicles with combined driving assistance functions reached 3.099 million, an increase of 40.6 percent over the same period last year, and the market penetration rate reached 42.2 percent.

At present, intelligent driving technology in China is still in the stage of development. Cars equipped with L2 driving technology have been mass produced, but the application scenarios are still limited. Intelligent Internet-connected vehicles equipped with L3, L4 and L5 self-driving technologies can only run in specific scenarios of experiments and demonstrations. With the introduction of technological improvement and self-driving technology access policy, L3 cars are expected to be sold in 2023, and L4 and above cars are expected to be sold in the domestic market in 2025.

Second, China's intelligent network connection automobile core technology has made breakthroughs one after another. after ten years of development, China's intelligent network connection automobile has made great progress both in terms of technical level and industrial development, gradually falling behind and catching up in an all-round way. it has developed into a trend of running side by side with Europe, the United States, Japan and other automobile powers and taking the lead in some fields. At present, China's intelligent network-connected vehicles have made remarkable progress in vehicle integration, key technology research and development and industrialization, and the key technologies are in synergy with the pace of intelligent network-connected vehicle industrialization.

In terms of key components, millimeter wave radar, vehicle gauge-level lidar, and big computing chips have made independent breakthroughs and began to enter the pre-production installation, gradually replacing international products. In terms of networking technology, China has formed the whole industry chain of C-V2X chips, terminals and systems. In terms of on-board computing chips, domestic manufacturers have launched vehicle specification-grade AI computing chip products, which narrow the gap with imported chip products in terms of chip computing power and energy-efficiency ratio. In addition, the chassis line control dynamic and on-line steering technology is gradually mature, and the autonomous proportion of system products is increasing.

At present, the global self-driving technology has made a rapid iterative breakthrough, the electronic and electrical architecture has accelerated the evolution from distributed to centralized, and the demand for software, data, computing power and so on is growing exponentially.

However, at present, the key technologies involved in the intelligent network-connected automobile industry chain supply chain, such as environmental awareness and on-line control implementation, still lag behind the automobile developed countries, and the vast majority of vehicle specification-level chips rely on imports. At the same time, there is a gap between the basic software field represented by the vehicle operating system and foreign countries, and there is a phenomenon of foundation hollowing out in key parts and other industries. Therefore, we should adhere to innovation and development.

Third, the continuous expansion of the application of automobile road testing and demonstration in China, according to the latest statistics of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, there are 17 test and demonstration zones, 16 "Shuangzhi" pilot cities, and 7 national vehicle network demonstration zones throughout the country. more than 7000 kilometers of intelligent roads have been upgraded and more than 7000 sets of roadside network equipment have been assembled. More than 50 provinces and cities across the country have issued detailed rules for the implementation of intelligent network car testing regulations.

At present, autopilot manned and loaded tests have been carried out in Guangzhou, Changsha, Shanghai, Wuhan, Beijing, Shenzhen, Chongqing and other places, providing a policy environment for demonstration operation and even commercial trial operation of various scenarios. In the face of COVID-19 epidemic situation, self-driving vehicles such as unmanned distribution and unmanned eliminate virus effectively supplement the shortage of manpower and transport capacity.

More than 50 provinces and cities across the country have issued more than 2000 road test and demonstration application licenses, more than 15000 km of open test roads, and a total test mileage of more than 40 million km. And targeted layout of manned vehicles, unmanned cleaning, terminal distribution and other scenarios, test demonstration accelerated to in-depth development, unmanned testing, commercial operation accelerated, local legislative breakthroughs ushered in the new best part of the country, test results mutual recognition continued to advance Intelligent Internet-connected vehicles have evolved to a new stage of large-scale demonstration, and relevant ministries and commissions have strengthened the supply of innovative policies for industrial development.

More than 10 cities, including Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Chongqing, Wuhan and Changsha, allow self-driving cars to engage in commercial trial operation of taxis and urban bus (electric) cars in specific areas and specific periods of time, and the application scale is expanding.
