The global automotive industry is experiencing a peak period of electrification transformation and is about to enter the intelligent deep water zone.

　　Compared to electrification, intelligence will face greater investment, faster iteration, and unexpected elimination speed. Moreover, the impact of intelligence goes far beyond the automotive industry itself. Its driving force and integration have national significance, and smart cars are an important opportunity for China to transition from a major automotive country to an automotive powerhouse.

　　Based on this, on the basis of holding five consecutive forums, the China Electric Vehicle Hundred People Conference will hold the 2023 Global Intelligent Vehicle Industry Conference (GIV2023) in Hefei on September 28th. With the theme of "Promoting a New Journey of Intelligent Vehicle Industrialization Development", GIV2023 will explore major issues related to the development of intelligent vehicles in the new stage of large-scale development of the new energy vehicle market: how to create products that are more in line with market demand and build sustainable and profitable business models; How to systematically ensure the resilience and safety level of the intelligent vehicle industry chain; How to construct new policies, regulations, and environments suitable for industrial development.

　　As new technologies, products, and models accelerate to emerge, the new energy vehicle industry is also undergoing profound adjustments and optimizations. Developing intelligent vehicles with a systematic and industrialized approach has become increasingly important.

　　GIV2023 will invite over a hundred government departments, as well as representatives of industry institutions, universities and leading enterprises in the fields of automobiles, information, transportation, energy, cities, investment and financing, in the form of three open forums and one closed seminar, to gather multiple forces and jointly explore the high-quality development path of intelligent vehicles in China.

　　New Stage of Intelligent Vehicle Development Industry Faces New Challenges and Topics

　　While countries around the world are accelerating electrification, the wave of global automotive industry intelligence is on the rise: on the one hand, the market penetration rate of L2 level autonomous driving technology is rapidly increasing, and L3-L4 level autonomous driving technology is on the eve of large-scale production. On the other hand, innovative technologies such as intelligent cabins have become the focus of differentiated layout for car companies due to their easier perception by consumers and stronger sense of experience.

　　But the intelligence of automobiles also brings greater challenges: higher investment, faster iteration speed, and unexpected strict elimination. The most important thing is how to balance the high investment and high risk of intelligence, how to balance consumer experience with enterprise cost-effectiveness, how to collaborate with upstream and downstream enterprises in the industrial chain, and create a win-win industrial ecosystem. These are common issues faced by upstream and downstream enterprises in the intelligent automotive industry chain, which are related to input and output.

　　GIV2023 will hold a "high-level forum", focusing on the theme of "New Stage of Intelligent Vehicle Industrialization Development", to explore important intelligent topics of industry concern: new stages and trends in the development of intelligent vehicles; The development path of intelligent vehicles that balances cost and efficiency; The path of integrating intelligent vehicles with new technologies and models for development; Measures and methods to enhance the user experience of intelligent vehicles; Build a policy system, industrial support, and application ecosystem that adapts to the development of intelligent vehicles.

　　New Technology Brings New Industrial Chains to Open and Build Together

　　Under the wave of intelligent vehicles, more and more high-tech innovative enterprises are entering the automotive industry, and new technologies and industries such as cloud computing, big data, and big models are accelerating their deep integration with the automotive industry. Correspondingly, the rapid development of automotive intelligence has also driven the progress of new technologies and products in chips, operating systems, and artificial intelligence.

　　At present, we are in a critical period of rapid development in the intelligent vehicle industry, with technology routes and industrial patterns far from being finalized. Cross border integration has also brought new problems: what impact will the hot big model technology this year have on the automotive industry; What are the new changes in hardware fields such as chips and auroral radars in the trend of integrating autonomous driving and intelligent cockpit; How to collaborate with intelligent partners such as OEMs and chips for development; The acceleration of Chinese cars, which are at the forefront of intelligence, towards overseas markets, and how domestic and foreign enterprises promote the unification of technical standards in software and other intelligent fields are all practical challenges faced by enterprises in the rapid development of intelligent technology.

　　To this end, GIV2023 will hold a "New Technology Forum" specifically targeting the development trend of intelligent technology, focusing on the theme of "Industrial Practice and Prospects of Intelligent Vehicle Innovation Technology", to explore hot technical issues of industry concern: new opportunities brought by large model technology for intelligent driving and intelligent cockpit; Progress in end-to-end autonomous driving technology; The development trend and challenges of large computing power chips under the trend of cabin driving integration; Practice of new intelligent driving technologies such as LiDAR, 4D millimeter wave radar, and wire controlled new chassis.

　　During the same period, GIV2023 will also hold an "Industry Chain Forum", focusing on the theme of "jointly building a three-dimensional open ecosystem and building a joint force for industrial development", to explore the issue of open collaboration between upstream and downstream enterprises from different backgrounds, For example, "Localization development path for multinational automotive chip enterprises; promoting collaborative development between domestic automotive chips and multinational automotive companies and suppliers; promoting collaborative development of domestic and foreign standards for automotive software; promoting collaborative development between automotive software open source organizations, open source organizations, and software and hardware open enterprises; promoting collaborative development of intelligent automotive basic software, hardware, and large models".

　　In addition, during the GIV2023 period, a "Quarterly Seminar on the Situation and Policies of China's Intelligent Vehicle Industry" will be held. The closed door seminar will invite guests to jointly discuss relevant policy issues related to the development of intelligent vehicles in China, such as the new situation, new technologies, new models, and new ecology of intelligent vehicle development; Problems and challenges faced by large-scale commercial development of advanced autonomous vehicle; How to solve the problem of "bottleneck" in some of China's basic technology shortcomings, as well as key links in the supply chain of operating systems, car chips, and other industries; Medium and long-term development plan for intelligent vehicles; Policy recommendations to promote high-quality and sustainable development of the intelligent vehicle industry.

　　The "Global Intelligent Vehicle Industry Conference" hosted by the China Electric Vehicle Hundred People Association has been successfully held for five times. The conference highly focuses on the development of intelligent vehicle technology and the transformation of the industry chain, closely combining with current hot issues in the industry. It is an important industry conference platform for transmitting authoritative information, analyzing industry trends, and promoting communication and cooperation. In 2023, the "Global Smart Car Industry Conference" will continue to gather industry wisdom, integrate cross-border forces, and further explore the direction and path for the smart car industry under global changes.
