The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology interprets the industrial standards of the Internet of Vehicles and promotes the development of autonomous driving.

　　A few days ago, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and the National Standards Committee jointly issued the Guidelines for the Construction of National Vehicle Networking Industry Standard System (General Requirements), the Guidelines for the Construction of National Vehicle Networking Industry Standard System (Information Communication) and the Guidelines for the Construction of National Vehicle Networking Industry Standard System (Electronic Products and Services) (hereinafter referred to as the Guidelines). In order to better understand and implement the Guide and facilitate the whole industry system to understand this work, the relevant person in charge of the Science and Technology Department of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology interpreted it.

　　A: The car networking industry is a new industrial form that relies on information and communication technology to provide comprehensive information services through all-round connection and data interaction between cars, cars and cars, cars and roads, cars and people, and cars and service platforms, forming a deep integration of automobile, electronics, information communication, road transportation and other industries. It is a global innovation hotspot and a commanding height for future development. Vigorously developing the Internet of Vehicles is conducive to the innovative development of the automobile industry, building a new model and format of automobile and transportation services, promoting the development of assisted driving and autonomous driving, improving traffic efficiency, reducing accident rates, saving resources, reducing pollution and further liberating productivity.

　　In recent years, China’s car networking industry has developed rapidly, and the innovation of key technologies has been accelerating. The construction of test and demonstration areas has achieved initial results, and an integrated innovation ecosystem has taken shape, involving the development of many industries such as automobiles, information and communication, and digital transformation in transportation, vehicle management and other fields. In order to achieve full cooperation and strengthen coordination, it is urgent to establish a cross-industry and cross-field standard system that meets the needs of China’s technology and industrial development. To this end, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology organized the compilation and jointly issued the "Guide" with the National Standardization Administration Committee to promote the healthy and sustainable development of the car networking industry and accelerate the development of new technologies and services such as autonomous driving by strengthening standardization.

　　Q: How is the overall structure of the Guide considered?

　　A: Under the framework of national laws, policies and strategic requirements, we should make full use of and integrate the foundations and achievements of various fields and departments in the research field of vehicle networking standards, mobilize all industries to work together to jointly formulate the vehicle networking industry standard system.

　　According to the standardization subject and industry attributes, the Guide is divided into general requirements, intelligent networked vehicles, information and communication, electronic products and services. Among them:

　　The general requirements are the first part of the Guide and the top-level design part of the whole Guide. Mainly put forward the overall standard system structure and construction content of the car networking industry, guide the overall standardization work of the car networking industry, and promote the gradual formation of a unified and coordinated national car networking industry standard system structure.

　　The intelligent networked automobile standard system mainly defines the basic directions such as definition and classification, the general specification directions such as man-machine interface, functional safety and evaluation, and the standard directions related to product and technology applications such as environmental awareness, decision-making early warning, auxiliary control, automatic control and information interaction. According to the construction method of combining the technical logical structure and product physical structure of intelligent networked vehicles, the standard system framework of intelligent networked vehicles is defined as four parts: foundation, general specification, product and technical application, and related standards. At the same time, according to the commonness and difference of each specific standard in content scope and technical level, the four parts are further subdivided to form a subclass with complete content, reasonable structure and clear boundaries.

　　The information and communication standard system is mainly designed for the information and communication technology, network and equipment, and application services of the vehicle networking, and focuses on the research of next-generation information and communication technologies such as LTE-V2X and 5G eV2X, so as to support the related standardization requirements and key directions of the development of the vehicle networking applications. The key standards related to information communication in the vehicle networking industry are divided into three levels: perception layer (end), network layer (tube) and application layer (cloud). Supported by common basic technology and information communication security technology, the architecture is divided according to the way of "end-tube-cloud".

　　The standard system of electronic products and services mainly aims at the standardization of automotive electronic products, vehicle information systems, vehicle information services and platforms that support the industrial chain of vehicle networking, and defines the standardization development direction of vehicle networking electronic products and vehicle information services. Electronic products and services of vehicle networking include basic products, terminals, networks, platforms and services, etc. Through the basic products and terminals, intelligent information of vehicles can be collected and obtained, and driving status and environment can be perceived and processed, so as to realize vehicle information services such as traffic information, navigation service, entertainment information, safe driving, online commerce, emission information and remote control.

　　In the future, the standard system will be dynamically updated, and with the maturity of each part and the needs of the industry, it will be revised, improved and supplemented in time.

　　Q: What process did the Guide go through?

　　A: At the end of 2016, the Science and Technology Department of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, together with the Equipment Industry Department, the Electronic Information Department, the Information and Software Services Department, the Information and Communication Development Department, the Information and Communication Administration, the Network Security Administration, the Radio Administration and other relevant departments, organized standardization organizations such as china communications standards association, China Electronics Industry Standardization Technical Association and the National Automobile Standardization Technical Committee, as well as domestic experts in the fields of automobiles, electronics, information, communication, Internet, public security and transportation.

　　The Guide is divided into general requirements, intelligent networked vehicles, information and communication, electronic products and services, among which the intelligent networked vehicles part was issued at the end of 2017. After many expert discussions, soliciting opinions from departments and departments within the Ministry and relevant departments, and publicly soliciting opinions from the society, the general requirements, information and communication, and electronic products and services were officially issued in June 2018.

　　Q: What role will the Guide play?

　　A: The Guide will give full play to the top-level design and foundation leading role of standards in the construction of the ecological environment of the car networking industry, accelerate the research and formulation of common foundations, key technologies and urgently needed standards in the industry, and step up the development of standards related to autonomous driving and assisted driving, key technical standards for in-vehicle electronic products, key technical standards for wireless communication, and key technical standards such as LTE-V2X and 5G eV2X for car networking industry applications. Gradually build a cross-industry, cross-field, national car networking industry standard system that meets the needs of China’s technology and industrial development, meet the development needs of industries such as research and development, testing, demonstration and operation, provide support for building an open and collaborative car networking industry with core technologies, and lay a solid foundation for the development of autonomous driving.

　　Q: What will be the next step?

　　A: In the next step, together with relevant departments, we will continue to play the role of the special committee for the development of the car networking industry, which is composed of 20 departments and units including the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the Ministry of Public Security and the Ministry of Transport, and work together to solve problems in policies, regulations, technical standards, infrastructure and management systems, strengthen the regulation and guidance of industrial development, and create an environment conducive to industrial development. Efforts will be made to break through key technologies such as advanced sensors, on-board operating systems and middleware, on-board intelligent processing platforms and automotive chips, strengthen the coverage and application of LTE-V2X wireless communication technology, accelerate the informationization and interface transformation of road infrastructure such as signal lights and traffic signs, accelerate the establishment of an industrial system of vehicle networking, promote the development of autonomous driving, and foster new kinetic energy for economic development.
