On June 6, the 2023 World Intelligent Driving Summit with the theme of "Bravely Entering No Man's Land in the 5G Era" was successfully held at the National Convention Center in Beijing.

This summit was planned by Zhijia.com and co-organized by Zhijia Media and China Posts and Telecommunications Equipment Group Co., Ltd.

Fu Yuwu, honorary chairman of the Society of Automotive Engineers of China, and Yuan Chengyin, secretary-general of the China Automotive Chip Innovation Alliance, delivered speeches.

This year is the fifth edition of the summit. Since the first summit in 2018, intelligent driving has gradually evolved from L2-level assisted driving to advanced intelligent driving, and the penetration rate of new cars with intelligent driving functions has increased year by year.

At the same time, related industrial chains such as chips, lidar, high-precision maps, and high-precision positioning are also experiencing explosive growth. The emergence and development of logistics robots and humanoid robots have promoted the intelligent driving industry to no longer be solely dependent on the automobile industry, and gradually develop into an independent industry larger than automobiles and travel.

At this summit, more than 100 representatives from industry, academia and research gathered together to share and discuss the current status and future development of the industry. Many domestic first-line technology companies in the field of intelligent driving were all present, including China Unicom, Didi, Bosch, Neusoft Reach, Haomo, Momoji AutoLink, NavInfo, Momenta, Pony.ai, Valeo, and BeiXing Photon Representatives from more than 40 companies including Horizon, Horizon, and Xinchi Technology attended the event to discuss the future of the industry.

Regarding the changes taking place in the field of intelligent driving, Fu Yuwu said: "(my country) has taken the lead in the world in realizing pre-assembled mass production of C-V2X, and the test demonstration of L3 and L4 high-level autonomous driving has been developed in depth. The intelligent connected car industry is currently It is gradually entering a new stage of demonstration application and large-scale promotion from the technology research and development and testing verification stage. Technological innovation is accelerating breakthroughs. my country has formed a relatively complete intelligent connected vehicle technology chain, autonomous driving system integration, lidar, and control decision-making. Major breakthroughs have been made in the independent research and development of key technologies such as algorithms, AI chips, smart cockpits, C-V2X, and Northern Navigation Positioning. A number of core technologies and components with intellectual property rights have gradually come on board, and some products have achieved full mass production. my country Intelligent connected cars have gradually formed a trend to keep up with the international standards in terms of technology research and development, product application, testing and demonstration, and industrial ecology.”

After experiencing a severe core shortage, China's automotive industry chain is gradually moving toward independent and controllable development.

In this regard, Yuan Chengyin said: "I believe that autonomy and controllability not only emphasize autonomy but also controllability. Here, we must promote independent chips and apply them on a large scale to establish the confidence and confidence of downstream companies in upstream chip design companies. Use their determination, but you also need to strengthen cooperation, because it is impossible for any country to complete the entire process of the chip industry independently. In the process of realizing the independent control of the entire chip industry or core capabilities, we see that the industry must create a healthy and sustainable industry. An innovative ecology of sustainable development, collaborative cooperation and win-win results is not only the collaboration between the upstream and downstream of the simple supply chain, but also the collaboration between end customers’ application demands put forward by upstream developers, as well as the currently hot policies, capital, and industries. , collaboration among research institutions.”

This summit also sets up the “2023 Smart Driving Unicorn” selection.

The 2021 Intelligent Driving Summit will set up the "Annual Intelligent Driving Unicorn" award for the first time, aiming to reward startups with cutting-edge entrepreneurship, universal product commercialization, and stable technology application, and encourage local entrepreneurial teams in China to achieve success in the field of intelligent driving. improvement.

The companies awarded this year are: Beixing, PATEO Internet of Vehicles, Chenxin Technology, Neusoft Ruichi, China Unicom Intelligent Network, MAXIEYE Intelligent Driving Technology, Momenta, Qingzhou Zhihang, Soto Ryan, Xinchi Technology, and Neolithic Wireless People, cars, and wise travelers.

June 6 marks the 4th anniversary of the issuance of 5G licenses in my country.

For four years, smart driving has been considered the first industrial-level application of 5G. Although driverless driving is still far away, intelligent driving is becoming a common technology in the fields of commercial vehicles, passenger cars and smart city construction.

The World Intelligent Driving Summit has become an industry, academia and research dialogue platform connecting the government, 5G communication providers and intelligent driving technology companies.

Summit planner Jia Hongbing said: "In the past five years, the connotation and extension of intelligent driving have continued to expand, and profound changes have taken place. It is no longer a simple technology. It not only affects people's travel methods, but also affects people's thinking patterns. , social governance model, is even becoming the key to solving social problems such as the population crisis. In the past five years, driverless taxis and autonomous vehicles have begun to hit the road. With the emergence of logistics robots and humanoid robots, the smart driving industry has It will no longer be attached to the automobile industry as a supplier, but will become an industry with a unique brand image and independent business model.”

The summit is divided into four major sections: "China's Plan for Intelligent Driving", "The Battle for the Implementation of High-end Intelligent Driving", "Scenarios for the Implementation of Autonomous Commercial Vehicles" and "Globalization and Localization of the Intelligent Driving Industry Chain" 》.

In view of the rapid development of China's smart driving industry chain, the summit established a parallel forum on the smart driving industry chain for the first time.
