China's Ministry of Industry has designated 20 regions, including major cities such as Beijing and Shanghai, to participate in an ambitious pilot program focused on the implementation of "vehicle-road-cloud integration" technology for intelligent connected vehicles.
This initiative marks a significant step towards advancing the nation's smart transportation infrastructure.
The pilot program is a key component of China's broader strategy to foster innovation in the automotive and technology sectors.
By leveraging the combined capabilities of vehicles, road systems, and cloud computing, the initiative aims to enhance the safety, efficiency, and connectivity of smart vehicles.
According to a statement released by the ministry, the country aims to develop a unified and shared standard system for "vehicle-road-cloud integration" by 2026. This standardized framework will facilitate the seamless integration of intelligent connected vehicles into the nation's transportation network, paving the way for a future where smart cars can operate harmoniously with existing infrastructure.
The selection of these 20 localities underscores the strategic importance of these regions in pioneering new technologies and serving as testing grounds for innovative solutions.
These areas will spearhead the development, testing, and refinement of the technologies and standards necessary for the widespread adoption of smart connected vehicles across China.
