The China Automotive Chip Industry Innovation Strategic Alliance was officially established in Beijing on September 19, which is jointly supported by the Ministry of Science and Technology and the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology of China, and led by the China New Energy Vehicle Technology Innovation Center.

The Alliance's participants include vehicle enterprises, automotive chip companies, automotive electronics-related suppliers and universities, industry organizations and other more than 70 organizations.

With the continuous development of China's new energy vehicles and smart cars, the demand for automotive chips is increasing, but only 10% of these chips are independently developed and produced by China.

In today's unique situation, such a low rate of autonomy urgently needs to be improved. And according to research firm Strategy Analytics, the world's top 10 automotive semiconductor manufacturers have a market share of 67%.

Since 2018, the China New Energy Vehicle Technology Innovation Center has joined with a number of alliance members to form a working group of more than 100 units to participate in the testing and certification of automotive chips, and to research and develop test and evaluation standards for autonomous automotive chips.

After that, they have carried out third-party voluntary evaluation and certification work, providing important technical support and accumulating experience for the application of autonomous vehicle chips on board.
