Vehicles are the ultimate products of deep integration between the Internet, big data, AI, and the real economy. Vehicles will be redefined by ICT, and become more connected and intelligent. Intelligent connected vehicles will be a key pillar of intelligent transportation. They will also present challenges in terms of technology, policy, laws, and regulations. The standardization of intelligent vehicles is still underway, and we will continue innovating as we build intelligent connected vehicles.

By 2030, we will be producing multivariable maps of agricultural data, which will make precision farming possible. Collecting data will enable us to control factors affecting crop growth, such as temperature and humidity, so that we can build vertical farms unaffected by the uncertainties of climate and weather. 3D printing technologies are also introducing the possibility of artificial meat designed according to taste and dietary requirements. By 2030, we will be building more resilient and sustainable food systems and relying on firm data rather than the vagaries of the heavens.
By 2030, there will be 200 billion connections worldwide. IPv6 adoption will reach 90%
By 2030, 1 YB of data will be generated annually worldwide, a 23-fold increase over 2020
By 2030, we will no longer have to live with clutter. We will manage our possessions with a digital catalog powered by a 10 gigabit network, holograms, and other technologies. Automatic delivery systems will bring household items from shared warehouses to our doors whenever we need them. Intelligent management systems that control our physical surroundings for automatic interactions will mean that the buildings where we live and work may produce net zero carbon. Next-generation IoT operating systems will enable people to live and work in adaptive environments that understand their needs.
By 2030, there will be 1.6 billion fiber broadband subscribers
By 2030, 23% of homes will have access to 10 gigabit fiber broadband
In 2030, the transport system will see innovations across many different dimensions. Vehicles using green energy and controlled by autonomous driving technology will provide us with a mobile third space. Electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) aircraft will make emergency rescue faster, reduce the costs of delivering emergency medical supplies, and may even change how people commute. Mobility solutions will be efficient, customized, and shared, meaning that vehicles will be used much more consistently and travel will become greener.
All of these will require secure and stable autonomous driving algorithms; cost-effective, reliable sensors; high-speed, stable space-air-ground integrated networks; and a central brain with massive computing power for traffic management. These technologies will be indispensable for developing connected, autonomous, shared, and electric vehicles that deliver a low-carbon transport experience.
By 2030, 50% of new vehicles sold will be electric vehicles
By 2030, the whole-vehicle computing power will exceed 5,000 TOPS
The spread of new digital infrastructure will make for better management of the urban environment, with more efficient use of resources and more effective city government. Centralized digital platforms for government processes and services will make government services user-friendly and easier to access. This will help create more comfortable and livable cities.
By 2030, 40% of companies will have access to 10 gigabit Wi-Fi networks
By 2030, digital transformation will have brought a new wave of modernization to enterprises. They will use more productive machines, such as collaborative robots and autonomous mobile robots. New business models will be more people-centric, with increased flexibility in manufacturing, logistics, and other activities.
