The First China Smart Car Forum Held in Chengdu

On the 25th, the first China Smart Car Forum was held in Chengdu. Many experts and car manufacturers from home and abroad attended the conference to discuss the development of smart cars and think that the smart cars will become the future development trend.

The forum attracted experts from the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the National Natural Science Foundation of China, the General Armament Department, and the Chinese Academy of Engineering, who are engaged in auto-pilot and intelligent research and industrialization. The total number of 21 vehicle members such as FAW and SAIC The head of the division, the institute, and the chief technicians or technical directors from various countries and regions, such as BMW, Audi, and Toyota, who are engaged in intelligent work of automobiles attended the event.

At the meeting, a number of experts said that the smart car has become the future driving force in the world of automotive engineering, and the car will be an intelligent system combining people, cars and things. As an important automobile production base, Chengdu has achieved initial success in the smart car industry with sound foundations and industrial advantages.

"The intelligentization of automobiles is an international trend." Li Jun, academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering and director of the Technical Center of China FAW Group, believes that at present, the trend of the joint development of automotive intelligence technologies in Europe, America and Japan has taken shape. To this end, China needs to research and formulate a strategy and technology road map for smart cars in China. It will continue to tap the potential benefits of smart technologies in China, develop the industrial chain of core components, and explore its business model and ecosystem.

Professor Han Hangen of the Institute of Unmanned Driving Research at the National University of Defense Technology and general manager of the University of Defense Technology said that the vehicle driverless technology is the use of modern information processing technology and control technology to liberate drivers from vehicle driving, and this technology will completely change people’s lifestyle. The biggest challenge faced by the research and development of driverless cars is the multifaceted challenges of technology and economy. Among them, the current technology is very low in understanding the environment and needs to be solved urgently.

This forum is also a technical forum for auto intelligentization and unmanned driving with the most participation of domestic departments, the highest level of expertise, and the most participation of foreign parties. The two-day forum will feature keynote speeches and live interactions on six topics, including technological advancements and commercial applications for driverless cars, and the main manifestations and application trends of automotive intelligence.

In order to let the public know more about smart cars, this year's CIFIT also set up a smart auto exhibition area. The most eye-catching people in the exhibition area are still Tesla, which has already begun to gradually enter the Chinese market.
