2024 will be the "explosive year" of intelligent driving: companies rush to go public to impact the trillion-level market

2024 is destined to be a "milestone" in the development of the intelligent driving industry. This year, the radish running on the streets of Wuhan caught the public's attention, Tesla's driverless taxi robotaxi unveiled its mystery, and Chinese and American companies are running all the way on the intelligent driving track. This year, companies such as RoboSense, Horizon Robotics, Black Sesame Intelligence, WeRide, and Pony.ai have rushed to go public, and a large amount of capital has poured into the intelligent driving industry. The "explosive development" of the industry has become a consensus. But also in 2024, huge differences in routes have also become a "rift" that divides the intelligent driving industry: Tesla CEO Musk insists that the pure vision solution is the "correct and only" way for intelligent driving, but most domestic car companies use laser radar solutions. Behind the route dispute involves a complex industrial dispute, and the intelligent driving industries of China and the United States seem to be heading to both sides of the fork in the road. Standing at the end of 2024 and looking forward to the coming year, although the "end" of the intelligent driving industry is unclear, the "speed" is certain. The "Internet of Vehicles White Paper" released by the China Academy of Information and Communications Technology predicts that the scale of my country's smart car market will be close to one trillion yuan by 2025. "With the continuous advancement of technology and the continuous promotion of policies, smart driving will gradually penetrate from the high-end market to the mid- and low-end markets and become a standard feature of the automobile market," Wang Peng, an associate researcher at the Beijing Academy of Social Sciences, told reporters.
