China has announced the phase results of the application of "vehicle-road-cloud integration for intelligent connected vehicles (ICVs) in the country during the three-day 2025 World Intelligent Connected Vehicles Conference, which was concluded in Beijing Saturday.
The new results provide crucial insights for the future large-scale application of the ICV industry, according to the announcement made public at the event held from Thursday to Saturday.
The "vehicle-road-cloud" integration represents a systematic technological framework for the ICV sector. By deeply integrating vehicles with roadside infrastructure and the cloud, this approach enables collaborative perception and intelligent decision-making in the transportation system, serving as a vital means to ensure the safe operation of autonomous driving systems.
As the first country globally to propose and implement this technical strategy, China has involved 20 cities (or consortiums) in related pilot projects. Currently, the country has successfully developed 10 key functional scenarios for "vehicle-road-cloud" integration, covering traffic signal information services, traffic event warning, collaborative collision avoidance for vulnerable road users, collaborative automatic emergency collision avoidance, and vehicle perception information sharing services.
Additionally, China has successfully implemented "vehicle-road-cloud integration" in various fields, including smart public transportation, unmanned delivery, intelligent passenger mobility, urban logistics, highway logistics, smart sanitation, intelligent charging and discharging, and data closed-loop and value-added services.

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney's official visit to China signals a policy shift towards building a more pragmatic relationship between the two countries, according to a Canadian researcher.
Carney arrived in Beijing on Wednesday to begin an official visit to China through Saturday, which marks the first trip by a Canadian Prime Minister to the country in eight years.
Robert Hanlon, director and principal investigator of Canada and the Asia Pacific Policy Project (CAPPP) at Thompson Rivers University in British Columbia, told the China Global Television Network (CGTN) that Carney's visit indicates Canada is recalibrating its strategic perception of China, which could cement the foundation for the country's economic diversification efforts and boost the development of bilateral cooperation.
"I think it's a clear message that he has moved Canada's strategy to a much more pragmatic, interest-based, -focused relationship with our trading partners, moving away from values-based narratives that we might have heard on previous governments. Canada has spoken about moving from what the Prime Minister's Office is calling "from reliance to resilience", and that means diversifying our economies and our trade everywhere in the world. And so China being our second largest trading partner, it makes perfect sense for our PM to head to Beijing," he said.
The scholar also noted the huge cooperation potential between the two sides in economic and trade fields, citing Canada's efforts to step up shipments of liquefied natural gas (LNG) and the planned construction of an oil pipeline in Alberta which aims to increase export access to Asian markets. "Canada and China both share tremendous economic opportunities together and so finding ways to enhance our exports. Canada specifically looking to build out its LNG and oil, kind of export market. We know Canada is a major producer of critical minerals and China is a buyer. And so there's a lot of synergy between that kind of those kind of markets," he said.
