Organized by the National ICV Innovation Center, the China Society of Automotive Engineers, and the Beijing High-level Autonomous Driving Demonstration Zone, the forum aims to examine the common challenges of global ICV development, support the innovative development of test demonstrations, provide an international communication platform, and explore future industrial development paths.

Governments, authoritative industry organizations, and test demonstration zones from China, Japan, Singapore and other countries and regions are gathering together to share local test demonstration policies and regulations, product management ideas, and innovative practices online.

The forum includes one plenary meeting and six thematic sub-forums, which will cover complete links from theoretical research to practical applications related to ICV test demonstrations.

The meeting will also release guidelines for the construction of a standardized system for ICVs, a comprehensive index evaluation and development guide for ICVs in Chinese cities, and a safety operation platform and testing tools for ICVs, showing the progress of phased research and application in ICV testing and demonstration.
