China unveils results of "vehicle-road-cloud" integration for intelligent connected vehicle

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.

Former Japanese Prime Minister Yukio Hatoyama on Tuesday urged the country's incumbent Takaichi administration to withdraw its erroneous remarks regarding China's Taiwan, and adhere to the one-China policy.

Hatoyama made the remarks during the ongoing 13th Beijing Xiangshan Forum, which runs from Tuesday to Thursday in the Chinese capital. He said Takaichi should either retract her remarks or, by some other means, communicate in "an absolutely unambiguous manner" that Japan continues to firmly respect the one-China policy.   "The Taiwan issue is an extremely sensitive issue in China-Japan relations. I believe it is important for Japan to continue respecting the agreements embodied in the 1972 Japan China Joint Communique. That is one-China policy. I can understand why China was concerned by Prime Minister Takaichi's remarks last year. In diplomacy, even a change in wording can sometimes be interpreted as a change in policy. Prime Minister Takaichi should either retract these remarks, or by some other means, communicate in an absolutely unambiguous manner that Japan continues to respect the one-China policy," said Hatoyama.

At a Diet meeting in November last year, Takaichi said the Chinese mainland's "use of force on Taiwan" could constitute a "survival-threatening situation" for Japan. She refused to retract her remark, which implies the possibility of armed intervention in the Taiwan Strait.

Takaichi's provocative statements have sparked widespread outrage and condemnation across China, while China has repeatedly urged Japan to retract those remarks.
