G9 Forum：Opening and Cooperation to achieve Win-win in Future: Development Environment for High-level Autonomous Driving and International Coordinatio

Background:

At present, the mass production of low-level autonomous driving vehicles has started. The development of high-level self-driving vehicles is still in the initial stage due to the impacts of various factors such as laws, regulations, usage environment, and technology maturity etc.. Europe, the United States, and other countries and regions have been relatively active in programming and investing in the field of autonomous driving. The R & D and tests on autonomous vehicles had been carried out earlier; the Framework Documents for Autonomous Driving Vehicles, which was jointly established by China, the European Union, Japan and the United States, had passed the examination of the United Nations in June 2019. It is a solid step in the development of high-level self-driving vehicles. However, the future development is still highly dependent on the supports of the policy environment, technology R&D, and the building of infrastructure. Therefore, to carry out international exchanges and cooperation to actively promote the development of autonomous driving and intelligent connection has become an important direction for the sustainable development of the automotive industries in various countries.
