According to the MIIT, China has already completed an industrial chain including smart cockpits, autonomous driving, and network and cloud control. It has issued a total of 88 national and industry standards, is conducting research on standards such as autonomous driving assistance systems, and is participating in the formulation and adjustment of international standards and regulations related to autonomous driving. Looking ahead to the 15th Five-Year Plan (2026-2030), the key focus will be the large-scale, innovative application of artificial intelligence (AI) in the transportation sector, and the “AI + Transportation” implementation guidelines will soon be released and implemented.
