On April 28, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology released the key points of automobile standardization work in 2025 (hereinafter referred to as the "key points"), making 23 specific arrangements around five aspects, further improving the standard system, improving the quality and efficiency of standards, strengthening implementation and application, giving full play to the leading and guaranteeing role of standards, and using standards to help the transformation and upgrading of the automobile industry and high-quality development. This includes starting the preparation of the "15th Five-Year Plan" technical standard system in the automotive industry, improving and implementing the standard system in key areas such as intelligent connected vehicles and automotive chips, accelerating the development of mandatory national standards for safety requirements for autonomous driving systems, and carrying out research on the standardization needs of new business formats such as flying cars in advance.

  Key points are proposed to build a "four pillars" of the standard system, including strengthening the top-level design of the automotive standard system, optimizing and improving the construction of key standard systems, forward-looking layout of standards research in cutting-edge fields, and accelerating the promotion of the internationalization strategy of standards. Among them, the preparation of the "15th Five-Year Plan" technical standard system in the automotive industry will be launched to promote the construction of a standard system covering the entire chain, the entire process and the entire life cycle of the industrial chain. Improve and implement the standard system in key areas such as intelligent connected vehicles and automotive chips, continuously optimize the new energy vehicle standard system, accelerate the implementation of the dual-carbon standard system for automobiles, and promote the iterative update of standard systems such as general vehicles and system components. Identify and judge the future direction of automotive standardization, and promote the formulation and release of standard subsystems such as automotive artificial intelligence, solid-state batteries, and electric vehicle battery replacement.

  The key points are also clear, and a "standard blueprint" is drawn in emerging fields, and specific deployments are carried out around improving the safety level of new energy vehicles, strengthening the supply of intelligent connected vehicles, accelerating the formulation and revision of automotive chip standards, promoting research on automotive electronic standards, and strengthening the development of green and low-carbon standards for automobiles.

  Focusing on strengthening the supply of intelligent connected vehicles, key points are proposed to promote the approval and release of standards such as automatic driving design and operating conditions, automatic parking, and autonomous driving simulation testing, accelerate the development of mandatory national standards for safety requirements of autonomous driving systems, and build a safety baseline for autonomous driving systems. Accelerate the formulation and revision of mandatory national standards such as combined driving assistance systems and automatic emergency braking systems, revise lane maintenance assistance systems standards, promote the development of standards such as reversing assistance, and improve the safety level of driving assistance products. Accelerate the publicity and implementation of the standards for LTE-V2X direct-connected communication vehicle information interaction systems, promote the formulation of standards such as queue follow-up, digital keys, and network information assistance, and promote the accelerated application of network functions.
