Abstract: Intelligent Connected Vehicles (ICV) are reshaping the pattern of traditional automobile industry, and they have gradually become the strategic direction of more and more countries. The test field and demonstration zones, as important bridges linking the technology side and market side of the ICV, are crucial in the development of its technology and industry. At the same time, the integrated construction of the test field and demonstration zones also provides a platform for collaborative innovation in the industry. In this paper, the test field and demonstration zones of the ICV industry in Beijing are selected as the case study object, and the grounded theory research method is used for reference. Based on the logic of “motivation-behavior-result”, the story line of collaborative innovation of ICV industry that is based on the test field is explored. Furthermore, open innovation is incorporated to analyze and optimize the industrial collaborative innovation mechanism that is based on the test field. On this basis, the paper discusses two collaborative innovation paths of the ICV industry based on the test field: the path that is led by the core enterprises in the test field and the path led by the test field. Finally, from the perspective of the government and management departments, several suggestions are put forward for promoting the collaborative innovation of the ICV industry based on the test field, in order to provide reference for the construction and operation of the domestic ICV test field and demonstration zones and the collaborative innovation development of the ICV industry.
