Kong Lei, deputy director of the BDA's Administrative Committee, made a keynote speech at the conference.

Kong pointed out that the BDA will introduce a series of policies that are more conducive to the development of enterprises and the application of industrial scenes.

At the opening ceremony, the construction progress of Beijing's high-level autonomous driving demonstration zone was also announced. The construction tasks of stage 1.0 of the demonstration zone have basically been completed. 

Within one month of the approval of the Intelligent Connected Vehicles Policy Pilot Zone, 112 vehicles from Pony.ai, Baidu, Didi and other companies have been issued road test notices in the pilot zone, which will be utilized in morning and evening peak times and at night.

Based on the progress and breakthroughs made in the construction of Beijing's high-level autonomous driving demonstration zone and the intelligent networked vehicle policy pilot zone, the pilot version of the "Implementation Rules for the Management of Unmanned Delivery Vehicles" formulated by the BDA zone was also released at the opening ceremony.

The rules grant vehicle codes for the first unmanned delivery vehicles, solving the problem that unmanned delivery vehicles cannot be compliant with current laws and regulations.

At the opening ceremony, the BDA also announced a list of 20 scenario opportunities in three categories that have been researched and screened, as well as supporting policies, and invited industry institutions and enterprises to participate in innovating intelligent networked vehicle scenarios.
