【Key Event】The Nanjing Municipal Bureau of Industry and Information Technology issued the "Implementation Rules for the Management of Road Testing and Demonstration Applications of Intelligent Connected Vehicles in Nanjing (Trial)" to promote the rapid development of intelligent networked vehicles
On April 22, the Nanjing Municipal Bureau of Industry and Information Technology issued the "Implementation Rules for the Management of Road Testing and Demonstration Applications of Intelligent Connected Vehicles in Nanjing (Trial)" (hereinafter referred to as the "Implementation Rules").
The "Implementation Rules" mainly put forward specific requirements from the responsibilities of the management agency, the main body of road test and demonstration application, drivers and vehicles, road test application, demonstration application application, road test and demonstration application application of special operation vehicles, road test and demonstration application management, road traffic violations and accident handling, and illegal operation responsibility. Accelerate the construction of Nanjing's intelligent transportation system, promote the development of intelligent networked vehicle applications and related industries, and guide and standardize the city's intelligent networked vehicle road testing and demonstration applications.
Comments: The automobile, as a significant symbol of the progress of modern society, is more than just a means of transportation. It has greatly expanded the boundaries of people's lives, making long-distance travel and cargo transportation easier than ever. At the same time, the vigorous development of the automobile industry has also given birth to a number of related industrial chains, such as steel, rubber, electronics and other industries, creating a large number of employment opportunities for the society and injecting a steady stream of vitality into economic growth.
In the 21st century, with the deep integration of automobiles with electronics, communications, energy and other fields, a new product with cross-border integration characteristics - intelligent networked vehicles came into being, which has quickly become a new direction for the development of the global automobile industry. At the same time, the rapid development of autonomous driving technology has made intelligent networked vehicles not only cover the cutting-edge technology of autonomous driving, but also involve many fields such as Internet of Vehicles, infotainment, and human-computer interaction. The rapid development of these technologies has also greatly promoted the vigorous development of road testing and demonstration applications of intelligent networked vehicles.
In order to regulate and guide the healthy development of this emerging industry, the Nanjing Municipal Bureau of Industry and Information Technology issued the Implementation Rules in a timely manner, providing solid regulatory support and clear guidance for the road testing and demonstration application of intelligent networked vehicles. The promulgation of these rules not only injects a strong impetus into the intelligent networked automobile industry in Nanjing and even the whole country, helps to enhance the competitiveness of the entire automobile industry, but also provides a clearer and more standardized operating environment for enterprises, reduces market risks, and improves investment efficiency. The issuance of the "Implementation Rules" has undoubtedly laid a solid foundation for the healthy development of Nanjing's intelligent networked automobile industry, and also depicted a broader and better blueprint for the future development of the entire automobile industry.

【Key Event】Mainland experts were elected as the convener of the ISO Automotive Perception Sensor Working Group
On April 25, two international standard proposals, "Test Method for Vehicle LiDAR for Road Vehicles" (ISO 13228) and "Test Method for Detection Performance of Millimeter Wave Radar for Road Vehicle Outside Perception" (ISO 13389) led by Continental, were voted by the International Organization for Standardization Technical Committee on Road Vehicles (ISO/TC22), and were approved to establish a new automotive perception sensor working group (ISO/TC22/SC32/ WG16), the mainland experts were elected as the conveners of the working group, and China Automotive Technology and Research Center Co., Ltd. undertook the work of the working group secretariat.
Automotive radar is an important automotive perception sensor, mainly including lidar, millimeter-wave radar and other forms, which can be used to monitor the environment around the vehicle in real time, provide information such as traffic conditions, pedestrians, and other vehicles, so that the driver or automatic driving system can make correct driving decisions in time and reduce the risk of traffic accidents. In recent years, with the accelerated evolution of vehicle electrification, intelligence, and networking, automotive perception sensors represented by lidar and millimeter-wave radar have played an important role, and their performance and standards have been increasingly valued by the market and industry. In June 2021, Continental submitted a proposal to the International Organization for Standardization Road Vehicle Committee on automotive radar series standards, and then cooperated with more than 50 experts from Germany, France, Finland, Japan, South Korea and other countries and regions to carry out in-depth research on the evaluation system and test methods of lidar and millimeter-wave radar for nearly three years and promote consensus, laying a solid foundation for the establishment of the automotive perception sensor working group and the establishment of two international standards for automotive radar.
In the next step, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology will organize China Automotive Technology and Research Center Co., Ltd. and other relevant units to adhere to the principle of synchronous research and formulation of international and domestic standards, give full play to the advantages of rich application scenarios and active technological innovation in the mainland automotive industry, accelerate the development of international standards in the field of automotive perception sensors, and continuously improve the participation and contribution of the mainland in the construction of international standards and regulations.
IEA: Global EV sales will grow strongly in 2024
On April 23, the International Energy Agency (IEA) predicted that while EV sales will continue to grow strongly in 2024 despite economic challenges in some markets, price and charging infrastructure will be key to future growth in the EV market.
The IEA's forecast shows that global EV sales will reach 17 million this year, compared with 14 million in 2023, accounting for more than one-fifth of global new car sales. Of these, 10 million will come from China, the world's largest automotive market.
In its annual Global Electric Vehicle Outlook, the IEA noted that "thin margins, volatile battery metal prices, high inflation, and the phasing out of purchase subsidies in some countries have raised concerns about the pace of growth in the EV industry, but global sales figures remain strong." ”
According to the IEA, in the first quarter of this year, global EV sales increased by 25% compared to the same period last year, on par with the increase in the first quarter of last year (compared to the first quarter of 2022), but this year's increase was achieved on a higher base. In addition, EV sales in the first quarter of this year are equivalent to the total sales for the whole of 2020.
However, the IEA says that the penetration rate of electric vehicles in the overall car market will vary by region: in the United States, it will account for about one-ninth of total car sales, in Europe, it will account for a quarter, and in China, it will account for nearly half. Among them, the "generally weak outlook for passenger car sales and the gradual elimination of subsidies in some countries" have hindered the adoption of electric vehicles in Europe.
The IEA believes that price remains key to the growth of the electric vehicle industry compared to conventional vehicles, and that prices vary widely from region to region. In Europe and the United States, internal combustion engine vehicles are still more affordable than electric vehicles, while in China, nearly two-thirds of electric vehicles sold last year were cheaper than conventional cars. "Electric vehicles will become cheaper as battery prices fall, competition intensifies, and automakers achieve economies of scale," the IEA said. ”
In addition, the use of charging infrastructure to meet the growing demand will also be a key challenge. By 2035, the number of public charging stations worldwide needs to grow fivefold.
