On Monday, December 7, 2020, our group under the leadership of Teacher Hu Bo participated in the 2020 Future Automobile Technology Conference and the 33rd Chongqing Automobile Industry Conference.

       At present, the global scientific and technological revolution is accelerating, and the automobile industry is also ushering in a major technological change. As one of China's major automobile industry bases, Chongqing is under the guidance of the "big data intelligence" strategy, firmly grasping the development trend of the automobile "four modernizations", and accelerating the transformation and upgrading of the automobile industry to new energy and intelligent networking. Therefore, further upgrading, building a higher-level conference platform, and promoting in-depth exchanges and cross-industry cooperation between Chongqing Auto and domestic and foreign countries, the industry and the outside world, are the fundamentals of holding the "Future Automotive Technology Conference". Extensive invitation of guests from all walks of life in the industry chain to Chongqing to participate in exchanges, negotiations and cooperation will help jointly promote the innovation and progress of Chongqing and even the Chinese automobile industry. The conference consists of a series of activities such as the plenary session, thematic report, and thematic sub-forum.

      In the morning academic report, Professor Zhao Fuquan, Dean of the Automotive Industry and Technology Research Institute (TASRI) of Tsinghua University, left a deep impression on everyone with the "Industry-City Integration to Create a Three-dimensional Ecosystem" academic report. It analyzes how the auto industry will reshape the pattern and future development trends of the auto industry in the post-epidemic era when the auto industry is accelerating its transformation. This gives us a very deep understanding of our future research directions, which strengthens our confidence in research.

      After lunch, everyone participated in the "Automotive New Energy and Autonomous Driving Forward-looking Technology" special session in the parallel forum. New energy and autonomous driving are the two most important development directions for future automobiles, but the realization of fully automatic driving and mature three Before electrical technology, the industry urgently needs some key technologies that can solve core problems. Everyone listened carefully to the sharing of forward-looking technologies such as hydrogen fuel cells, electronic information, autonomous driving algorithms, lidar, high-precision positioning and other forward-looking technologies and application practices, and benefited a lot. This gave us a very detailed understanding of the current research status of new energy vehicles and smart cars and some technical problems that need to be solved urgently in the future, and realized that there is still a lot of knowledge we need to learn. The road is long and long, and I will look up and down. .

      Afterwards, the Chongqing Society of Automotive Engineers held an awards banquet and awarded honorary certificates and prizes to the paper winners. Everyone was chatting and laughing, toasting and celebrating. Seniors were invited to share some of their experiences in the automotive industry and exchanged views on the future.

      After attending today's meeting, I believe everyone will be more motivated to move towards the future and meet new challenges!
