On April 23, the 21st Shanghai International Automobile Industry Exhibition (2025 Shanghai Auto Show) opened grandly. Independent brands such as SAIC, Dongfeng Motor, and BYD have made high-profile appearances with intelligent electric technology as their core competitiveness, and released a number of new technologies and strategies. Joint venture brands such as Volkswagen and SAIC-GM also emphasized localized operations, displaying intelligent networked vehicles and new energy vehicles. Supply chain providers such as Bosch and SemiDrive also launched assisted driving solutions and chip products. The 2025 Shanghai Auto Show has become a weather vane for the development of the industry, reflecting the cruelest survival rules of the automotive industry, that is, electrification is the ticket to enter, and intelligence is the life and death line.
