China New intelligent networked vehicle (ICV) standard system can support combined driving assistance and automatic driving by 2025.
On 26 July 2023， The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology （MIIT）and the Standardization Administration of China （SAC）） issued a notice on the "Guidelines for the Construction of the National Internet of Vehicles Industry Standard System (Intelligent Connected Vehicles) (2023 Edition)".
It stated that, in the first stage, by 2025, an ICV standard system that can support general functions of combined driving assistance and automatic driving will be systematically formed. China will formulate and revise more than 100 relevant standards for ICV, covering combined driving assistance, key systems for autonomous driving, basic network functions and operating systems, high-performance computing chips and data applications, etc. It will also run through safety standards such as functional safety, expected functional safety, network security, and data security to meet the standardization needs of intelligent networked vehicle technology, industrial development, and government management.
In the second stage, by 2030, an ICV standard system that can support the coordinated development of single-vehicle intelligence and networked empowerment will be fully formed. China will formulate and revise more than 140 relevant standards for ICV and establish implementation effect evaluation and dynamic improvement mechanisms in this stage. The new ICV standards system will meet the full-scenario application requirements of combined driving assistance, automatic driving and networked functions, establish and improve the safety assurance system, software, hardware, and data resource support system. In this stage, China will coordinate international standards and regulations in key areas such as automatic driving to an advanced level, with intelligent networked vehicles as the core Carriers and application carriers lead the coordinated development of "vehicle-road-cloud" and realize innovation integration drive, cross-field collaboration, and domestic and international coordination.
MIIT stated that this is the second part of the "Guidelines for the Construction of the National Internet of Vehicles Industry Standard System", which is the inheritance, extension, and improvement of the "Guidelines for the Construction of the National Internet of Vehicles Industry Standard System (Intelligent Networked Vehicles) (2018 Edition)".
After an objective summary of the construction of the standard system in the first phase and an in-depth analysis of the new needs and trends of the intelligent networked automobile industry, the construction of a standard system with a more complete framework, more comprehensive content, and clearer logic is formed. The high-quality development of the intelligent networked automobile industry has laid a solid foundation by this publication.
In the document, a total of 53 standards have been either released, reported for approval or recently initiated as standardization projects. Among them, 92% are national standards, while the remaining are sectoral standards; 17 standards consist of conversions from international standards (i.e. ISO standards and UN standards). Furthermore, the Guidelines present an innovative element, namely a clear indication of the standardization priorities for each category. For instance, for automobile chips, the standardization priorities include:
Automobile safety chip technical requirements and testing methods;
Automobile intelligent driving computing chip technical requirements and testing methods;
Automobile intelligent cockpit computing chip technical requirements and testing methods, etc.
As for the next steps, MIIT will:
Promote the construction of the intelligent and connected vehicle standard system.
Continue to guide the Intelligent Connected Vehicle Sub-standard Committee of the National Automobile Standards Committee (SAC/TC114/SC34) and relevant units.
Focus on key standardization areas and priorities, such as functional safety, cybersecurity, and operating system
Participate in the coordination and formulation of international standards and regulations.
Promote the implementation of key standards.
Accelerate the integrated development of new energy vehicles with information and communication, intelligent transportation, and smart cities
Leverage the guiding role of standards to promote the high-quality development of China’s intelligent connected automobile industry.
