Changan‍ Automobile’s Zhu ⁤Huarong Calls for Global Collaboration on Smart Vehicle Standards

Changan Automobile’s Zhu Huarong has urged governments and industry stakeholders to ‌accelerate the ‌harmonization of standards for intelligent ⁣and connected vehicles (ICVs), advocating for “one certification, global adoption.” Speaking recently,Zhu emphasized the need for thorough mutual trust and interoperability,spanning technical specifications,test data,and certification results,to foster ⁢a unified,efficient,and lasting global ‍growth environment⁣ for ICVs.

Zhu highlighted the unprecedented growth cycle currently underway in the ICV industry, predicting that digital‌ intelligent vehicles will define the future of automotive technology. He described future vehicles not simply as modes of transportation, but as “smart cars that can learn⁤ and ‍evolve by themselves.” He anticipates that by 2030, Level 2 assisted ‌driving will become​ the ‌industry standard, with Level 3‌ and above ​autonomous driving deployment exceeding 10%, and Level 4 ​autonomous driving beginning its rollout.

Beyond traditional ‌automotive ⁤applications,⁤ Zhu noted the industry’s expansion into multi-dimensional travel ecosystems encompassing land, sea, ​and air, opening new avenues for‌ growth. ​He projected the embodied intelligence market to surpass $23 billion by 2030, while the broader market size is ⁢expected to exceed‌ $322 billion, including the burgeoning low altitude economy.

While stressing⁣ the benefits of global standards – facilitating industrial interconnection ⁤and creating a win-win scenario for businesses and consumers – Zhu also acknowledged significant challenges hindering progress. He ‌identified four key structural issues:

* Limited Long-Tail Scenario Data: ‍Current technical systems struggle with collecting and improving data related to rare and complex perilous driving ⁢scenarios, increasing demands‍ on‍ social safety measures.
* need for Proactive Standardization: Many⁤ emerging‌ ICV application scenarios require established standards before development, yet the automotive industry lacks extensive experience in this area.
* Fragmented Global Standards: Existing global standards suffer from overlaps,redundancies,and even ⁢contradictions,raising production testing costs ⁤and technical burdens ⁢for companies.
* Disparities in‌ Key Area Standards: Significant differences in standards⁤ across countries in‍ critical⁢ areas like data security and electronics necessitate repeated certifications and increased compliance ⁣pressures for manufacturers.

Zhu concluded⁢ by advocating for a collaborative ⁤approach, stating‌ that the future of the ICV‌ industry‌ should be built on “cooperation to achieve greater results,” rather than isolated competition. He called on ⁤all stakeholders in the global industrial chain to embrace openness and collaboration to ⁢ensure the sustainable and high-quality development of the intelligent connected automobile industry.
