Anchoring Ecosystem Synergy, Mapping the Blueprint for Development
Wang Yao, Deputy Chief Engineer of the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers (CAAM) and Secretary General of the ICCE Alliance, stated in his opening remarks that automotive software is driving the industry’s transformation from a “mechanical hardware-driven” model to a “software-defined value” model through a strong “multiplier effect.” As a key scenario for releasing software value, the vehicle connectivity ecosystem serves as the core hub for connecting the full service chain of “people–vehicle–home–life.”
He noted that over the past four years, the ICCE Alliance has remained committed to the mission of “co-building standards and co-developing ecosystems,” and the series of group standards it has formulated have already achieved large-scale adoption among mainstream automakers. At the same time, the industry still faces challenges such as fragmented interoperability and insufficient enterprise collaboration, which require unified technical standards and deeper industrial coordination to overcome. CAAM will continue to provide resource support for the Alliance and work together with industry partners to build an open and collaborative industrial ecosystem.
