ICYMI: Over the last Fourteenth Five-Year Plan, the Chinese mainland has issued nearly 100 technical standards and launched vehicle-road-cloud integration pilots in 20 cities. Now, more than 60% of new cars come with advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS), making rides in cities like Shanghai and Shenzhen smoother and safer. 🚙💨
"ICV is the next big leap for the global auto industry," says Guo Shougang from MIIT. "From high-performance computing chips to multimodal sensors, we’re scaling up solutions that talked only in labs a few years ago." 🔍
Whether you’re an automotive engineer in Bengaluru or a mobility startup founder in Jakarta, this conference is the place to spot trends and build networks. Stay tuned as we track more updates on AI-powered rides, smart roads, and the next-gen cockpit experiences coming to a city near you! 🌏🚀
