The reporter learned from the press conference of the 2025 World Intelligent Connected Vehicle Conference that China has made breakthroughs in key technologies of intelligent connected vehicles, and has established a complete industrial chain system covering intelligent cockpit, autonomous driving, connected cloud control, etc. The large-scale artificial intelligence model has achieved mass "on-board". Intelligent connected vehicles are a key carrier for the integration and development of technologies such as artificial intelligence, information communication, cloud computing, and big data, and have become an important strategic direction for global automotive transformation and upgrading. Guo Shougang, Deputy Director and First level Inspector of the Equipment Industry Department of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, introduced that the scale of China's intelligent connected vehicle industry is rapidly increasing. From January to July 2025, the cumulative sales of new passenger cars with combined driving assistance function (L2 level) in China will reach 7.7599 million, with a penetration rate of 62.58%. The assembly volume of 5G and C-V2X (cellular vehicle networking technology) will exceed 3 million vehicles; The demonstration scale is steadily expanding, and 17 national level testing demonstration zones have been built nationwide. We are accelerating the construction of 20 pilot cities for "vehicle road cloud integration", opening up more than 35000 kilometers of testing demonstration roads and issuing over 10000 testing demonstration licenses; The standard system has been continuously improved, 88 national and industrial standards have been issued, the development of urgently needed standards such as combined driving assistance system, auto drive system and automatic emergency braking system has been accelerated, and we have deeply participated in the formulation and coordination of international standards and regulations related to automatic driving. Guo Shougang stated that the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology will urgently formulate a development plan for the intelligent connected new energy vehicle industry in the new era, support key core technologies such as automotive artificial intelligence, automotive operating systems, and intelligent line control chassis, continuously improve and perfect the automotive technology standard system, deeply promote the pilot work of intelligent connected vehicle access and road traffic, and the "vehicle road cloud integration" application, and solidly promote the high-quality development of China's automotive industry. Xing Fansheng, Director of the Comprehensive Department of the Science and Technology Department of the Ministry of Transport, introduced that in the face of the "15th Five Year Plan", the Ministry of Transport will take the large-scale innovative application of artificial intelligence in the field of transportation as the main direction, and will soon release and implement the "Implementation Opinions on 'Artificial Intelligence+Transportation'". In parallel with industry and social forces, it will organize the construction of a comprehensive transportation model and accelerate the popularization of intelligent agent applications. As the first national level conference on intelligent connected vehicles approved by the State Council in China, the World Intelligent Connected Vehicle Conference has been held for seven consecutive sessions since 2018. Qu Guochun, Director of the Equipment Industry Development Center of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, introduced that this conference focuses on the application and innovation of cutting-edge technologies such as artificial intelligence and information communication in the automotive industry, and invites global experts to share the latest technological breakthroughs, industry trends, and practical implementation. During the conference, multiple reports will be released on areas such as "vehicle road cloud integration", trusted data space, and "artificial intelligence+automotive", presenting the achievements of the development of intelligent connected vehicles during the 14th Five Year Plan period.
