TREE NEWS update: China and Germany held a cooperation meeting on automated connected driving in Berlin on September 14. The two sides held thematic discussions on intelligent connected vehicle technical standards, regulations and type approval, road testing and demonstration applications, automotive data management and security, V2X technology applications and ‘vehicle-road-cloud integration’ pilots, and exchanged views on the next stage of cooperation models and key exchange areas. Both sides said the meeting has become an important platform for regular information exchange and collaboration among government departments, industry bodies and key enterprises.
China-Germany Automated Connected Driving Cooperation Meeting Held in Berlin
This matters because it pairs two of the world's largest auto markets around the unglamorous plumbing of automated driving — standards, type approval, data security and vehicle-road-cloud integration — rather than headline vehicle launches. The involvement of government departments, industry bodies and key enterprises signals a push to align regulatory frameworks that often diverge across regions, which could ease cross-border testing and deployment for connected vehicles. The open question is whether this regular exchange translates into mutual recognition of standards or remains a talking shop.
