Why ICVs are highlighted?

ICVs bear the whole future ofinternational auto industry

Promoting the development of ICV , to solve andimprove the following issues:

ICVs work as an important
platform for ICT application

 Reduce traffic accidents
 Smooth traffic flow

ICVs constitute as a key
element of ITS

 Promote development of industry
 Reduce greenhouse gas emissions
 Improve the mobility of the elderly and thedisabled

ICVs work as one of pillars for
smart city and smart living

 ......

More agreements about ICVs and its solutions are achieved among
different industries
Intelligence decide whether AD canachieve while connectivity influence its
real value

Integration and fusion of multi-sensors
are common choice of the industry

Industries care more about technicalfeasibility, safety, reliability, consumer
acceptance and values of AD

Part ThreeQuestions and thoughts on ICVstandardization

22/25

Questions about ICV standards and regulations
How to correctly understand, treat rationally, and accurately locate the role and influence ofstandards on the development of ICV technology and industry?
How to accurately adapt to the diverse needs of technology and industrial development, andcorrectly play the role of standards: promote, guide or regulate?
How to implement the “multi-pillar ” and the new type of test and evaluation system to ensure
the safety of autonomous driving?
Does the evaluation of ICV need to correspond to the level of its automation, and could an evaluation systembe established that is separated from the taxonomy of automation systems?

Does the ethics of autonomous driving need to be regulated under the condition of "softwaredefined car", and can the embedded logic of autonomous driving be standardized?
What is the impact of autonomous vehicles on consumers and road traffic, and how to give
consumers appropriate training and education in a timely manner?
