中国信通院专题报告：自动驾驶成为抢占科技发展制高点的战略要地

Core Insights - The report emphasizes that autonomous driving is a key track in the automotive industrial revolution and a driving force for transforming transportation services, promoting deep integration of the real economy and digital economy, accelerating new industrialization, and enhancing the overall efficiency of the national innovation system [1][2] Industry Development - The report indicates that by 2025, the global autonomous driving sector will accelerate into a fast development lane, with continuous breakthroughs in application scenarios. Significant enhancements in perception, prediction, and end-to-end algorithms will notably improve the handling capabilities of autonomous driving systems in long-tail scenarios [1] - Level 4 autonomous driving is expected to develop in a scaled and orderly manner, with the penetration rate of combined assisted driving in passenger vehicles continuing to rise [1][2] Application and Market Expansion - Autonomous driving technology is not only widely applied in transportation services but is also accelerating deployment in logistics and closed scenarios. The report highlights that the autonomous ride-hailing service (Robotaxi) is nearing a tipping point, with companies like Baidu, Huawei, and Pony.ai emerging as key players [2] - Baidu's Robotaxi has been deployed in 22 cities globally, with over 17 million ride-hailing services provided. Low-speed autonomous vehicles like New Stone's unmanned vehicles and NURO are achieving large-scale operations worldwide, promoting the commercialization of last-mile delivery [2] Policy and Regulatory Framework - The report notes that the improvement of policy and regulatory frameworks is a key guarantee for the development of the autonomous driving industry. The US and China have established a leading development pattern in the autonomous driving sector, forming a "technology-industry-scenario-regulation" four-in-one model that provides valuable experience for global development [2] - Future development of the autonomous driving industry is expected to transition from technology-driven to scale commercialization, with application demonstration scenarios expanding to broader regions, higher density scenarios, and lower operational costs [2] Recommendations - The report suggests integrating autonomous driving and unmanned technologies into the "14th Five-Year Plan" through planning guidance, authorizing conditional regions to explore broader applications, and continuously improving the policy and regulatory environment to foster an innovative and inclusive social atmosphere [3] - The China Academy of Information and Communications Technology (CAICT) has been conducting forward-looking research on autonomous driving policies and industry development, releasing the "Autonomous Driving Strategy and Policy Observation" series reports for five consecutive years, which serve as an important window for observing global autonomous driving trends [3]
